Yes but new LED based lights are projector based and not reflector based so the can focus the light properly.

I think they look nice and are brighter than stock and I'm also terribly sorry for all the drivers that you'll inevitably be blinding.

All new vehicles are coming with LED lights so I don't see what the problem is, the new MK III's are adjustable so hopefully it wont be an issue.

Lmao! Well of course, I'm sure he has some "retrofits" on his truck! I can't remember the last time I was blinded by someone and I see hundreds of trucks and cars with hid or LEDs.

Because they aren't in a reflector style headlamp. This isn't rocket science.

New vehicles are designed for it. I see this pnp crap all the time and pisses me off. This whole, as long as I can see better, f&^k everyone else on the road.

I can say that I am very happy with them and tested having two different friends drive towards me on a dark road and neither one had any issue with my lights. Also never got high beamed and I have been driving around all night.

Wow, some major ****'s on here!!! I see LED's in reflector housings all the time and it's not blinding. You guys make such a big stink about it but it's no brighter than the bright projectors. My wife drives an Acura MDX and will get flashed sometimes with stock LED focused lights, so please explain that.
