I run the H4 conversions from HELLA and they have been great. A lot more light than the old sealed beams and retains the stock look unlike the dorky looking LEDs. I ran a relay harness so they get power direct from the battery.

Pros: more light, stock look

I drive an older car, 1998 toyota supra, low to the ground so my eyes are just about even with most of the SUVs running around my area. This is on me, I chose to drive this car. However, the change in the past 10 years has taken it from mildly annoying to downright blinding.

Cons: downright blinding, mildly annoying

Vehicle: Toyota Supra

what you do is chuck these in the garbage and just buy hella h4 replaceable 7" round headlights (they are glass as well so it wont fade/uv cooked) and stick with those. these offbrand amazon/ebay/temu/aliexpress halo led headlights have such garbage light output and beam pattern that you'd be better off just strapping led pen lights to the front of your car.

Pros: glass, wont fade

Cons: garbage light output
