Brett....

FWIW - right click on pic and open in new tab gave me a large pic.

They look impressive. Do they have much range or are they more of a spread beam?

It's interesting that the new L405 RRV looks like going to have LED high beam lights. If correctly focused, they can be devastatingly bright. I have a LED Lenser X21 torch with 7 LEDs and it is brighter than most car lights.

They not only look impressive but function well, although they are a recent addition and haven't been tested fully offroad. Like you l was drawn to the LED concept by having a couple of LED hunting torches and knowing how good they are. The great whites are marketed as a compromise between distance and spread, and l would agree. By way of comparison to the Lenser X21, each light is rated at approx. 6400 lumens. I have them positioned slightly divergent from each other to increase the side vision but still having enough overlap centrally. They are also smaller diameter than the Lightforce genesis HIDs l was looking at, and the LED appearance fits in with the cars OEM LEDs and the OL bar LEDs. The light is whiter than the OEM bi-xenons, l believe around 6000K. The website has a series of photos comparing halogen, HID and the various LED combinations.

I have a 2012 D4 with bi-xenon's which are possum spotters and am not happy like everybody else.
I would be interested if there is anybody that has a D4 with bi-xenon's that does NOT have this issue or is it across the board?

If so I will probably look at the LED D/L's in the near future.

Two months without a post. What's going on? Has anyone tried the spacer fix suggested by RSAChris? I've lodged a complaint with Fair Trading so we'll see where that takes us.

I was only thinking today that I haven't tried the spacers yet.

I have the possum spotters as well

But the low beam is very good.

For driving in rural areas,something else is definitely needed.

I recon the D2a had better lights

The hot glue solution has let go on one side after 2 years or so. Taking the opportunity to switch to a warmer colour HID in the high beam "filler" pockets where the halogens were - have ordered 4300K 50W HIDs instead of the 6500K 35W fitted last time, to be held in place by some sort of silicon stuff instead of hot glue.

Are the spacers readily available anywhere, or do they need to be fabricated? I couldn't find the post about those. Can you point me to it GrahamB?
