Totally useless and nothing more than a gimmick.
They refer to dip and main beams as 'dual brightness' and that isn't how dip and main beam function.
Dip beam particularly requires the illuminating filiment to be located very accurately within the light unit so the reflected light hits very specific sections of the lens so that the light is shaped for UK or European countries. Having all these LED's spread over a H4 shaped bulb could not possibly produce the light in the correct place in the lamp.

Yup wouldn't light the way for a rabbit on amphetamines. LEDs fine for rear or turn signal bulbs though. Changed all mine two years ago (including sidelight bulbs) and don't get a flat battery if I leave my lights on now. Headlamps, no chance.

I run with silverstar bulbs coupled to a headlight booster and relays. Nice and bright.
