If you live in the city, drive on lighted roads, never use your hibeams then you'll be ok. Should you use your hibeams the LED's will provide no useable light.

IMO, these would be a downgrade compared to your current LED DRLs. You'll have a single dot of light shooting forward (that won't light up the road much, if at all), instead of having that high beam assembly filled with light as I assume is the case with your current setup. Don't do it.
