Who's replaced their halogen bulbs with LEDs?

This set you bought on Amazon will blind everything coming at you. Do yourself a huge favor and return them. Then buy the set the 4x4truckleds sells. That kit is adjustable and you can get it just right not to blind others. This is the only LED headlight setup that people here run. It is definitely tried and true.
Wrong again. Plenty of people here run the LED's from f150leds.com

Yes, 4x4truckleds offering is fully adjustable. You snap the bulb into the housing and then you can still rotate the body. Instructions show how to rotated the light bulb so that you get safe output. I am thoroughly impressed with mine. I have made tweks to the rotation on them to get exactly what I want. This is sonple to do - just pop hood, rotate bulb body and done.
This is also the product (made by street glow) that f150leds carries now.

Whats the point in buying LEDs then? The brightness that doesn't bother others on the road is the brightness a halogen bulb provides. If you're going to adjust them down to what is good for everyone else you might as well stick with halogen.
The only thing that really stops people from being blinded and still adds brightness is a stepped cutoff that a projector provides.

You have 4x4truckleds H13? If so, there is a small Allen screw on the side that you remove which let's the led rotate from the base.

I get flashed all the time with my factory projectors. Aimed properly.

I've been driving in the pitch black of 5:30 in the morning everyday for a week now and have yet to be flashed by someone.
I almost always do avoid Amazon and especially eBay for truck parts, but I did my homework here and so far I see no problems. Also, these lights are only a temporary setup to help me get through the gnarly Utah winter, at which point I'm going to buy an aftermarket headlight with projectors anyways.

I've tested a few sets of H13's for 4x4truckleds and they always came preset correctly.
Here is the difference.
LED installed with the correct setting:
Same LED installed the opposite way (incorrect):
