69 Cutlass S convertible headlights

I’m looking upgrading my headlights to these. Anybody have experience with this brand?

Don't know anything about those lights. I am wondering why just regular old halogens won't work for you. They work fine on my 71 the once or twice a year I stay out late with it. Unless you are doing a lot of night driving I wouldn't bother.

If this counts as experience, I've seen them and don't like how they look in classic cars. Your car, your choice and it should be reversible. If it isn't reversible I definitely wouldn't install them.

What’s wrong with quality halogen bulbs?

I replaced my bulbs years ago with halogen bulbs, and have no problems with seeing where im going.

Installing a LED headlight (similar to the one you posted) is a common upgrade for a motorcycle. I found a huge price difference which ranged from $100 (EBay/Amazon specials) to $600 (OEM Harley Davidson). My research found that the $100-$200 cheapies are a common cause of complaints including fitment issues, the LED driver causing interference with the audio system, and short bulb life. I eventually bought a quality unit for $400 and change from a reputable aftermarket supplier with a promise of no audio interference and a lifetime guarantee for the bulb. For a passenger car application my personnel preference based on looks, performance, necessity, and price would be quality Halogen headlamps.
