Wow! Congratulations, first, on the retrofit, and also on fitting the new E-code lamps. And thanks for writing it up.
I am afraid that this is going to sound so ignorant, but when you write that "no light is being cast into oncoming drivers' eyes," I mean, that can't take into account hills and dips and such, can it, where oncoming cars are beneath your car's horizontal plane?
I rode once in a Citroen, I think it was, that TURNED its headlights with the car's turns, and I think that the headlights could also adjust for the car's load, but even THEY couldn't know that the poor slobs ahead of me on the east side of 42nd Street as I cross Minnehaha Avenue are over the crest of a small hill, and looking straight into my headlights, right?
I am getting grumpier with age, I guess, and with eyeglasses that do something with glare that I still don't understand, and night vision that is crapping out (I guess), and the &^%& pickup trucks that have 4 headlights, the upper 2 of which shine directly through my front or back glass (depending) and damn near blind me... I kind of wish I were young and intoxicated and eager to do something ill-advised, illegal, and vengeful toward those lights.
