I defininely do not want to be those guys, Hence my comments about "hoping they are not TOO bright. That would suck!" <<<Loosely quoted.
Here are the results and steps taken to get here.
Used a 3M headlight lens restore kit to make the lenses clear again.
Changed out the stock headlights and backup lights mentioned in my previous posts.
I figured out the picture issues. So here they are:

After having these for two nights now, I have had the chance to try them out. I did need to align them before a bit with the stock ones, I just hadn't done anything because it wasn't bad. However, after installing these much brighter bulbs, it was quite obvious I needed to align them. Before ever driving, I pulled to the garage and aligned them. I finished the alignment and went for a road test. I also had the opportunity to drive home a long stretch with a fair amount of oncoming traffic.
Here is the assessment:
Holy cow! I can see, this color white 6000k is really like daylight. Best part... Not one gripe from any of the oncoming traffic! I did flash a guy coming my way, but he really did have his high beams on. He lowered them right away. I was leader of the pack, so to speak, for a while, and on the dark stretches with no oncoming traffic, I was able to try the high beams. Night and then day! Wow! I can actually see the side of the road with clarity even the area where the deer like to jump from when you least expect it.
I can say now, that I feel safer diving with these lights, than I did while driving with the stock bulbs. As I mentioned before, These bulbs are a piece of machinery, it is highly tooled and well made. Why the lower price? I am not sure, but until proven different, I am a fan!
The backups are a pretty decent comparison to the original CREE bulbs mentioned in the original portion of this thread topic. I can see very well with them and do not think I will have to remove the tint on the front side windows.
I hope this helps some folks.
Blessings,
