The problem in the States is all of the brodozers with their headlights up so high they are shining directly into your eyes. With them being so obnoxious it’s all we remember when we think about LEDs.
Id rather blame it on beam shape which in your cars are symmetrical and designed to shine straight onto opposing drivers face. Here I immediately see at night that incoming traffic is a car with LEDs because they blind me less - you must come here to believe me I guess, but check what beam shape is by law mandated in the EU. And it is much much easier to control the beam shape exactly like you want it with multi-LED headlights.
Led or not, having the wrong light adjustment (height, beam shape, etc) will fail your inspection in most EU countries.
But this led trope is a regular online… I imagine in the US they are doing all kinds of crazy shit with high power leds, because freedom or something. Damn EU gob’mint, preventing people from blinding me!

I… I don’t think we test headlight adjustment during inspections in the US. At least, not in the states I’ve lived.
That would explain these kind of posts…
