They should perfect LED light sources before bundling a few together to make one!
I can just about tolerate a properly housed HID light source of around 5000K (white) but these LED's are definitely blueish with a sharp beam, I read on another forum where a guy went to an automotive exhibition and spoke to Hella (or similar) and they said it was possible to 'soften' the sharp cut-off line produced by LED's but Premium Brand Customers wanted it! almost like "my headlights are brighter than yours" so therefore I'm better than you...

yeps theres a Whole bunch of t(sser( who think like that,
they Used to be confined to bmw/audi ownership , having passed the "you must be this dumb to own one" test,, sadly standards have slipped, now every wannabe t**T in a "Suv" or poxy fart box wants them,, probably to compensate for having a 1.fkal 3 cyl turbo engine that couldnt pull the skin off a school rice pudding.
