LEDs are not focused for headlights.
For blinkers, it might be led lights make the blinker blink too fast.

I only use LEDs for tail and brake light, and parking light.

If you can focus the beam, a 5Watt LED is a very powerful headlight!
If you don't believe me, just look at a modern cellphone. They have 1 Watt leds in them, and looking at the light for even 3 seconds could give you an after image for several minutes.
And that's only 1 Watt.

The problems with LED Lights is that they are not focused, causing all riders ahead of you to be blinded,while too little light hits the road, where you actually need it.

A 3 Watt LED is comparable to a 25-35W incandescent light, if you could focus the beam.
