Also, IMO, the halogens provide a much better color temperature for nighttime driving. The blue cast of LED lights (and sometimes a washed out white) tends to make everything They illuminate appear to be the same color. The halogens on the other hand provide warmer, softer (more diffuse), light that is more representative of how things appear in daylight. I have yet to find LED bulbs with good color temperature and built-in diffusers, but I think that’s what it would take for an LED bulb too deliver the same experience that more standard headlights and bulbs do. Bright, wide, warm and diffuse are the hallmarks of OEM lighting.
I remember using these style LEDs on an older car years ago and came to the same conclusion, the ones I've seen people have good results with come with their own harness and a cooling fan behind the driver to keep them cool and they're a lot more expensive. I haven't tested them, if they'll even fit in these older housings I'm not sure.
They were definitely dimmer than the halogen bulbs, as you said yourself those housings are designed to reflect light emitted from a halogen whereas the LEd is only using a small portion of the reflectors in the housing.
Those 1:1 size led bulbs are never really good, you need some with a seperate driver and cooling fans. I'm using Novsight N37's and they're much much brighter than my old halogens, now they have a newer model called N60 that are even more powerful
Auxitos are ass! I i purchased some for my fog lights. I reached out to them before purchase to confirm i wouldn't get a canbus error or flickering st start up. They assured me i would have no issues. 🙄 I mean if you don't know just say you don't know. Dont lie.. 🤷🏾♂️ Anyway, they sent me some different ones that weren't as bright free of charge. Those didn't work either. I get the error sporadically now and flicker all the damn time. Some of you TH-camrs will promote anything just to get a check. That's how I found Auxito. Another you tuber promoting them for my exact model BMW.... His pants are probably still on fire to this day the wy he be lieing...

You are 100% right!
