However nothing beats properly engineered HID projectors with excellent cut off and more even light beam

Sure one can ...but can be a pain in the ass , I have tried hid kit and it was OK but do to our light assembly it was hard to adjust .
Now with the LEDs I have installed it's perfect no cut off just a nice bright area Infront plus fit like a glove with no modifications .
So, so far LED lights are in my opinion best setup with out doing anything extra , only thing I still have to do is to raise them a bit since I have not done any adjustments after running HIDs so the low beam is bit low .

Hmm, there doesn't appear to be the normal sharp cutoff towards oncoming traffic that H4 lights normally have. Do those LEDs have a partial shield on the low beam like a normal H4 globe?

Yes, I can see the shield in there to control the light pattern.

Thanks for the photos.

Mine are 8000L so guess way brighter than stock and it's noticeable for sure just I would not say as bright as hid but that couldl also be to phycological effect cos there is no cut off so even light as to cut and spot .

What you mean no cut off?
My hid is pretty much a near perfect cut off compared to projectors.
