Cree Led headlights

My silverstar headlights finally crapped out and it's time to upgrade. I was planning on each codes and a harness upgrade, but I came across a youtube review of the cree headlights and they looked pretty good. Did a search here, but didn't really find anything reviewing them. Anybody running them and if so how are they?
 
With all LEDs, it's not so much the LED. All LEDs produce a lot of light but it is not usable unless you have a good housing(reflector). Cree makes fantastic LEDs but pair them with a bad set of reflectors and you have less than fantastic usable light. I'm a big fan of Olympus Off-road LED bulbs, which use Cree chips, and Hella H4 housings.

Any chance you have a link? I'm not seeing them with the housings on their website, unless they just sell the standard led h4 bulb.
