Default these lights are total insanity

Maybe it's just me, but I'm driving a regular japanese sedan to work every day early, and especially now that the days are getting shorter, at times I am not able to keep my eyes focused on the road, due to every dude in his pick up truck and his wife in her SUV with those insanely bright beams either blinding from the opposite lane or right behind me engulfing my driver cabin in light like Anfield on a Champions league night.
Some european countries prohibit them there lights, probably justifiably so

The problem is often less about brightness than it is about: a) proper aiming; and b) improper bulb replacement. Replacing a halogen bulb with an HID or LED light capsule or bulb, for which the lens and reflector were NOT designed, will result in an altered light pattern that is not only NOT DOT-compliant, but also almost univerally generates excessive glare for oncoming motorists. They should pull these off the road as they're a dangerous hazard for every other motorist facing them.

There are a number of DOT-compliant LED headlamps on the market like the one you've linked to. While they're legal, in this crown they're less desirable as they certainly don't have the look of period-correct headlamps.



Appearance or safety? Pick your poison.

As already mentioned these lights are DOT legal and standard equipment on some bikes and cars. They do need to be properly aligned so not to blind the driver headed your way or get a ticket from LEO's. Easy install with included wire connection adapter. They do work well even though not period correct look in the daylight.
