Default H1 LED Headlight Bulbs

I recently picked up a set of dual halo projector headlights that use H1 bulbs. I found some H1 LED replacement bulbs online and thought about getting them. Anybody here have experience with LED headlight bulbs for high/low beams? Link to what I am looking at below;

Thanks!

I really have no experience with them myself, but I have read LED headlights do not project very far.

I've only seen one set of LED bulbs that could really be used for headlights and they cost in the hundreds for a single bulb.

The 2014 Audi A8 is getting LED headlights and supposedly the 2015 F-150 might, but other than that manufacturers haven't incorporated them into production because they are yet good enough or cost effective enough to use in mass production.

Stick with HID for now for your new headlights.
