Second, there is a hard truth about these new LED headlights: They look badass. But, they are not as good as xenon. I was in the country on a dark road for 20 miles this weekend. Yes, they illuminate the road. But, the lack of yellow in the bulb makes it harder to see things.
Good feedback. When you say that the LED is not as good as Xenon - do you mean the colour or the overall brightness?
Is it the (relatively) yellowish tinge of Xenon that you prefer over the (relatively) bluish tinge in LED?

My query is are you not satisfied by the temperature (colour) of the light or by the luminosity (perceived brightness) of light?
