    Hi,
    Some of the modern LEDs are getting very good beam patterns. I followed a small car for a short time on a poorly lit road the other night and was amazed at the spread and evenness of the light on low beam.
    I couldn't make out the brand, but it was way better than the Corolla I was driving,
    Cheers

    I bought some as well, but I have to say I am deeply disappointed in the low beam. The high beam is good though. I upgraded to relays for the wiring at the same time so they are getting full voltage. I wonder what you are doing differently to get a better result? Maybe my expectations were too high and I expected a big improvement for my hard earned money? The low beam just doesn't have the penetration it needs, it's bright a few metres from the Landy but fades off into nothing where I NEED to see. Even the high beam sits too low for me, which suggests I need to aim them higher but I think if i go higher it will be in driver's eyes. Anyway, disappointed I wasted my money, should have just upgraded relays and put good bulbs in.
    Well after spending a week driving around the towns/villages in the high country, I'm starting to agree with you and coming to the conclusion that the low beam is a bit poxy.
    Driving around in the city there's enough reflective stuff around for it not to be a problem, and then the clocks changed and I didn't need lights as often, so I was left with the impression that low beam was quite good.
    But driving around in low light/dim street lights really showed up exactly what you said about them being nice and bright close up, but then not having much penetration slightly further away, particularly to the sides.
    Oh well, I can always put the originals back in if it annoys me too much, but I'm still a sucker for the bling DRL/indicators and the high beam, so they're staying for the moment!

    Just been reading thread and thought I'd share this link STEDI 7 INCH IRIS LED Headlight Motorbike Truck Jeep Wrangler Harley Davidson
    Haven't tried them but was looking for a light bar and came across them.
    Yes they are more expensive then eBay but might be worth a try?

    Don't think they are the same, the nugget ones look to have four LEDs in a row and only a top and bottom segment for the DRL??

    I'm pretty sure they're not.

    They look completely different.

    A word of advice, when selecting LED headlight replacements, make sure the ones you buy are ADR compliant.

    Advised by someone on here who would definitely know - doesn’t matter if ADR compliant or not - if it wasn’t OEM fitment on a Defender it needs approval...
