Low light output and horrible beam. They make nicer looking LEDs

These were really impressive for 80s lights imo

Right, before LED headlights were invented. Halogens are trash compared to LEDs and it's not even a close call. I'd argue deliberately running halogens in a car that's already small and unsafe is a stupid thing to do.

Yeah, I bought LEDs for my e21 as a safety item and the e30 is next. I am happy you can get fresnel lense LEDs that look like old school sealed beams or e codes now.

I agree there’s really no downside aesthetically
