Recommendations For LED Headlights?

Could you guys please recommend some really good LED headlights? I have a budget of £300 - £400 and (to satisfy my chronic OCD) i'd prefer them to have a black background to match the Bolt On Bits RDX LED spots I installed. I live in a pretty rural area that's dark with no street lights (although that could be anywhere in the country right now with the councils austerity measures lol) and as there's loads of wildlife that runs across the road willy nilly I need excellent visibility so the brighter the better. This is my wife's 90 and i'm hoping to get all of the toys installed and finished ready for the end of January when it goes to South Wales Autowrap in Newport to be (funnily enough) wrapped lol. I really value the opinions of the members here as you've not steered me wrong as of yet and it's coming together really nicely.

Thanks once again to anyone kind enough to help.

I don't think they had any manufacturer marks on them but they had all the e marks and various other marks on the lens.
Here's a photo of them that I used when I sold them:

I got mine from powerfulUK, not the link above, they were a tad more expensive. If I remember rightly they are made by a firm called Ether.
I also have Trucklites fitted to my dcpu, and they are also very good, high beam isn't as good as the above but low beam has a better spread. The lenses are darker than the standard bowls but the Ethers have the black bezel like crispy wanted.

I compared the heated truck lite's and the JW EVO 2s. Eventually got the jWs and piaa driving lights for overkill. Very happy with the brightness and the pattern. On low beams they won't blind oncoming traffic...
