This said, I would say that some people won't like them while others will. It's too early to give my final verdict as I haven't done much night driving with them as of yet
That is my conclusion on LEDs.
They can burn your eyes up close but at a distance they are just little dots of light, all that efficiency means naught.

Some will think they are cool though.
