LED bulb in Halogen Projector

Hi everyone, like many of you with halogen lights I have been really unimpressed by their brightness and also the looks. I have ordered these LED bulbs (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1) after reading about some positive reviews of them here on the forum. Will I be blinding everyone I drive past and am a fool for ordering these? I'm alright spending $80 on an experiment to see if this is a solution but would love more input.

Any anecdotes or other possible solutions to halogen lights short of a full on conversion would be greatly appreciated.

I'm going to be spending a lot on an experiment involving a retrofit of Bi-Xenon & LED's, and I plan on sharing my thoughts on the project.

Just a stupid question ... do you replace just the low beams or both?

Not sure if this is the same but Marshall834 replaced his Halogen with an LED headlight that's similar to the same product that you're getting.

It's in the DIY section of the forum. Unable to post the link but the title is "DIY: Replace Halogen with LED Headlight Bulb".

Hopefully this helps.
