    Anyone running them? How do they compare to halogens? How bright do they seem.

    Unless you are also doing a $1k retrofit, these are the only ones I have seen that are designed to work in a halogen reflector. They also do not have cooling fans to fail and are built by a quality manufacture. If they are not designed to run in a halogen reflector you will have glare. Off brand LEDs are often not reliable and fail. If you look at the ones with microprocessor cooling fans, where you have to cut the back of your headlight boot allowing moisture into the lens, it is easy to see why.

    Output: 1250 lumens

    If you are just looking for greater light output I would highly suggest this upgrade instead:
