These thread titles always say "conversion" but all people are doing is replacing the bulb and blinding the hell out of everyone on the road.

I know you were referring to the drop-in bulbs. I was just commenting that even OEM LED headlights which seem to be popping up everywhere (come from the factory on a base model COROLLA!!!) are obnoxiously bright. It might not be an issue when you're driving a high vehicle, but in a car as low as an E90 I get blinded by oncoming traffic all the time.

On the off chance that you purchase only any bulb, it'll hurl a huge amount of light into the essences of different drivers.

Better yet, avoid any of these LED bulbs regardless of what they're designed for. If you have a halogen housing, stick with halogen bulbs!!! The drop in bulbs *might* not be too bad, but they're never going to be as good as halogen bulbs especially with regard to scatter and beam pattern.
If you want white headlights on your E90, buy an original set of HID/Xenon headlights or do a proper retrofit. I'd argue that even the proper retrofit doesn't include the leveling feature, but it's still infinitely better than HID or LED bulbs in a halogen reflector.
