The bit that says:

LED Headlamps are illegal for UK road use

Would put me of a tad.

Have you seen them fitted mate? It seems cars fitted with LED bulbs seem brighter to me so I thought there was something in this!

Like Audis?

Those are side lights, not headlights.

Cars with LED bulbs as you say would probably be sidelight or as a lot of them now have day time running lights, in which case you need w5w led bulbs

I think you may be confusing LED bulbs with DRLs - one has to work omnidirectionally, the other doesn't, and that's why LED technology isn't yet suitable for headlamp bulbs
