Here are the low beam light patterns for my Silverstar Ultra 55/65W (top) and the Tripage LED (bottom). You can't tell from my crappy pictures, but both lights are very white and provide nearly the same illumination. But there are differences ...

The Silverstar's light pattern has a straight cutoff at the top, to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. There is also a dark spot in the center (from a coating on the lamp) and two shadows running diagonally down away from the center.

The Tripage LED pattern is rounded at the top and has no shadows. It's a very consistent, bright beam from top to bottom. It's actually too bright to look at directly. I'm pretty sure the low beam could blind oncoming drivers. The high beam will definitely burn out their retinas.
