The glare from them (because they are so bright and can't be focussed) is terrible. I ask each of those people who like them to reflect on their reaction to a motorist who does not dip their headlights as they approach. I can do without the aggravation.

The same can be said with any non-aimed Model-A headlamp fitted with an incandescent or a halogen bulb. Just because someone has a 'mis-aimed' motorcycle, jacked-up 4x4, -or other type LED headlight does not make all of these LED bulb installations bad! People tend to believe what seems believable however they generally speak their opinion here and on social media without any first-hand knowledge yet they freely recite an opinion based on something they read). Technology and fitment of the direct-retrofit LED bulbs has advanced tremendously over the last 5+ years. Even citing personal experiences from LED bulb usage 5 years ago would not be the same outcome as LED bulb usage today.
