As far as performance goes, the laser lights are brighter in high beams even when the laser aren't engaged. Once they are then not only are they even brighter but also more focused on the road ahead.

The non-lasers are brighter in low beam, that is what causes the glare and why they are rated poor by the IIHS.


the low beams are brighter on the standard LED's? how's this possible if the inside bulb is a dummy on the LEDs vs the lasers?

Low beam is most important to me for daily driving. are the standard led's higher output in terms of lumens and distance vs the laser low beams?
In addition to the information TurtleBoy has provided, you should also consider that if you get laser and enable anti dazzle, you'll essentially have your high beams on 95% of the time.

Because the anti dazzle adjusts the projection at all times, your car should run high beams exclusively at most times.

To be fair mine haven't been coded yet so this is a bit of theory based on an understanding of the system but hasn't been tested in the real world by me.
