      I have LED's in the main beam. They are great at illuminating the sides of the road but like Steve said, they don't just don't have the distance.
      I'll be removing mine for a nightbreaker/relay setup

        I'm sure they will improve over time, however I'm certain the rated lumen metre output they proport to have is incorrect. Perhaps some are way better than others, but I bet you would have to pay top Dollar for them.

          I read somewhere that the maximum lumen output currently achievable is less than 3000 lux and this is why OEMs are using LED arrays rather than single units.

            Good info, looks like I have to settle for some good quality Halogen bulbs for now then.

                  Seems like they're not so good
