One more thing - over all, light color and pattern looks very similar to my BMW which came with HID lights. However, LED lights have sort of half a melon shaped bright spots at the furthest point in the middle.

I considered HIDs but my concern was being able to identify properly designed reflector. HID lamp light point source may be located different from halogen bulb being replaced and this change can have unpredictable affect on light pattern. These Truck-lite units and certainly GE units are designed as a self contained unit. As such, I had far less concern over resulting pattern.
