If you focus the light correctly they’re not bad.

The problem is folks put new LED bulbs in old fixtures designed for non-led bulbs. These scatter light everywhere and annoy people. Plus they have to be even brighter because the light isn’t focused where it needs to go.

Can we stop saying this? This might have been the case 10 years ago when conventional bulbs were the better established headlight standard but they're coming off the line like this these days. It has nothing to do with the housing and everything to do with the height they sit at, where they're aimed, and the brightness.

Yeah this, its brand new production cars with factory fitted light units drives me insane.
