Anyone used an LED H15 bulb yet? If so, what results did you get?

As Veki says, the light output is poor.

Nope, as I said, poor beam pattern and no light in the distance. Standard H15 is noticeably better.

Thanks for me luckily i have bi-xenon so it helps high beam a lot.This is now my headlights after a bit of upgrades.

I know that Mike, but some of the replacement lamps have a projector lens on the front...

Indeed not Mike.
there aren't many options for a decent halogen though either.

The Mtec ones have a pretty poor write up, and the eBay specials will just be cheap blue light
What's needed is Philips and others to make a decent 3700K+ white output version. The standard Osram is too yellow on DRL. (Which is what I would like to change)
