I believe in them. Ive seen it many times, however it has been proven that when LEDs are properly installed in a reflector housing they have proper cutoff and do not cause any glare as long as they are installed and used properly.

Correct. Good LEDs installed properly work well, give better visibility and do not cause glare.

Cheap junk LEDs from eBay are what blind other drivers and are what too many people use.

Anyone who states that all LEDs will cause glare in a halogen housing have simply not tried them and are only going by the fact they've been blinded by other drivers using cheap LEDs.

I use to have LEDs. Not cheap eBay ones. They were lifetime led. And they were garbage. Did a retrofit and the light output now is insane.

That's why a lot of people (included Mr 2008_XL) were always against LED... but the kits I sell work VERY well and don't cause that glare as the other ones. 2008 can vouch to that as I made him buy a set from me (offered him his money back if I was wrong/he was not happy)... not only has he not asked for his money back but he loves them so much he tells people about them. I don't go around saying "told you so to him" because he does help me with some product testing, sooo he gets off the hook there
