We have Active Bi-Xenon's on the XC60 and they are as Tannaton says brilliant, the best incandescent bulb lights I have ever used. We have Full Led System 'Thor's Hammer' on the V40 and they light up the road in front just as well.
But on dipped beam the ABL's give off scattered light that dimly lights up the trees, buildings, etc and gives you a sense of where you are. The LED's do not do this as much as on dipped beam as they have a sharp cut off that is akin to someone putting carboard over the top half of the head lights. Fine in towns but in the country, you can miss what is at the side of the road and is likely to jump out at you.
On full beam the ABL's penetrate deeper into the dark but the LED's go more than far enough for you to see and avoid anything even at speed.
