Default led headlights

Hi all
Just wondering with all the new Cree led headlight kits coming out that claim to be as bright as hid's . Has any one tried them, and how are they ?

Bigtony and the01kingranch have them, and I am sure others do too.
I had some in some Halogen projector housings on my wifes car (Scion xB, lowbeam only) and they were a nice light, but distance lighting sucked on them, up close was good.
They still glare like PnP HID's, but not as badly. I read the high beam on them is useless.

They are bright. Not as bright at hids with projectors.... At Least not the 2015 challenger. Those are the only hids I drive. But they are pretty bright. High beam is relatively useless though.

Lows, then highs. Not much difference.

Wow the01kingranch, I would expect more of a difference from when you switch on the high beams. Good pictures of them in action though!
