Did you replace the entire headlight assembly with factory LED headlights, or did you use cheap aftermarket LED bulbs? If it's the latter, you're probably causing glare for other drivers from the poorly aimed LED's that do shine more light on the road for you, but also shine more light in oncoming drivers eyes.
Driving lights are similar -- in order to shine far down the road, they are in other drivers eyes, so should be treated as high beams. Since Fog lights are intentionally aimed low, they can be used with low beams.
The cheap LED are the worst issue on the road at night! They tend to blind oncoming drivers with extremely poorly aimed bright white light.
