Default LED headlight upgrade?

I'm looking to upgrade the 7" headlights on my '75 LeMans to LED. But I want a sharp low beam cutoff and no dark spots. I've bought several LED conversions over the years and none of them have been satisfactory, mostly because of too much scatter on the low beam. Anyone running a good setup?

Looks like you're the expert. Which ones that you've bought been "ok" and which were absolute junk? My headlights are pitiful.

I installed these in my Jeep https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and am pretty happy with them. They are e-code lenses and have a solid cut-off on low beam.

I went with these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 LED lights. At first I didn't like them, but it was because I installed the lights upside down. Once I rotated them, the low & high patterns cleared right up.
There are probably better LEDs out there, but for the price, these are doing a good job. The company is also very responsive if you have a problem.

Thanks for the links! Is the original wiring and headlight switch adequate for the bulbs?
