Default Those who have HD LED headlight. Need input please

I looked in the HD parts catalogue and saw the light spread of the new LED headlights but cant work out if the beam is modified or not on low beam to shoot low on the L/H side for oncomming vehicles for you guys. Would like to buy one from the USA if the low beam is even spread on both sides of the road but not sure. Any advice appreciated.

When I aimed mine, I didn't notice any shift of the low beam versus the high beam. That was at 25 ft. so maybe it was too close to tell. When I'm riding, it doesn't seem to be happening. I really like the headlight.

Thanks for reply mate. That sounds promising so far, just need a definate answer before I spend the $$. On my hella lense there is a definate shift in the light spread to reduce the amount of light for oncomming vehicles. Maybe the LED h/lights just shoot an even spread, fingers crossed

If you are worrying about seeing on the right side, don't worry. Both sides of the road are well illuminated.

Thanks texas, but not worried about seeing, just concerned as we drive on the L/H side and when the LED headlight is on low beam it will shine a high spot to the right to our on comming traffic, whereas the high spot is good for you guys as it will shine further in the scrub if that makes sense, just like my hella does but to the L/H side.
