The beam pattern on mine seems to be quite good, perhaps not as clearly defined as halogen, but not far off. As for dazzle, I was worried about this but if correctly aimed, or preferably aimed a tad lower to be on the safe side, I don't think it will cause problems. With HIDs fitted its significantly brighter than before, but to me its still not as bright as OEM HIDs I see on cars (from both the perspective of a rider and other road user), perhaps the poor reflector design is to blame.
I fitted mine as there have been too many occasions where I've felt vulnerable due to not being able to see clearly after dark. Having said this, on top of the new MOT rules (I will probably need to refit the halogen MOT time), if I get hassled by the police I think I can live without it. If I can't, I'll buy some aux lights.
