They are certainly bright, but they have way too much scatter and no cutoff. The high beams are not really usably brighter nor further reaching than the low beams, just even more scattered. I would love to find a set that is as focused as a set of proper H4's.

On kind of an unexpected side note, I learned while driving into Klamath Falls last year in a near blizzard that these things, since they don't get hot, they don't melt snow. My "sugar scoops" filled up with snow and ice, rendering my headlights somewhat useless. I would have never even thought of that, until it happened.

Ballasts? Those would be HIDs. They are bright, but really suck in reflector lights. A friend's customer who lives down the street from me wanted to upgrade his lights and he already had the Bosch H4s. I told him to try some LEDs, but make sure they have the same focal point as the H4 bulbs. He found a set he liked and one night I was heading home and saw him with his lights on. Boy were they bright!

I've installed H7 LEDs in other cars and they made a helluva difference!
