Default LED headlight bulbs???? 07 tC - 9006

I have a question. Hopefully someone can help. I searched and searched no info. So I wanted to get new head light bulbs. So I was thinking LED. So I searched a few places. Ebay being one of them. I found a set that will fit my 07 tC. 9006 is the bulb size I guess. Here is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...K%3AMEWAX%3AIT
It has 68 LEDs and I was wondering if it would be brighter than the stock bulbs that came with the tC. I wonder if anyone has tried these at all. There is another kit on ebay too but its over $100. So I was just wondering if they would be brighter or not. Basically are they worth getting? Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the info guys. Much appreciated. I figured they wouldnt be as good. And I know all about HIDs. But I have an 07 tC so it doesnt have projectors. I dont want to get the HIDs and have the reflectors cause the lights to be "too" bright for others....mainly cops. I have read that the reflection makes them seem way brighter and can be annoying to other drivers and cops. But I do plan on getting projectors and HIDs but thats later. You think its still worth getting HIDs? Think I will get pulled over? I just really dont like cops....lol.

I live in cali and cops are D's thats why I went with 6000k they are pure white. I have an 07 as well, but what I did was get eyelids to have a clean cut off and they look legit!

Oh nice. Never thought of that. Great idea. Where did you get your eye lids from? If you say they are legit them I think im going for it. What HID kit did you get? OR I guess who did you buy them from? I want a half decent set.

I bought the eyelids from ebay. I went with a double layer so the light could not shine through. I bought them from that link I gave you above. And here are reviews and pix...
