Feedback of some they have them are diverse...overall most of them love them as they much more brighter, even more light. But: almost no more scattered light anymore which it makes harder to recognize objects outside of the direct light beam. On heavy rain much more glare which it also makes harder to see sth.
Only reports for the Osram and Philips LEDs as these the only legal ones here.

80W H4 bulbs???? Really??? Here 55W/60W is the absolute maximum per headlight to prevent glaring the oncoming traffic...

Also we have reports that people went back to the common H4 bulbs again as they were annoyed that the police have been attracted due to the much whiter and brighter light on a vintage 911 for traffic control and - when they do not have the legal Osram/Philips LEDs on the correct headlights, the police shuts down the car for a complete technical inspection...
