To be fair, the dotted array that Audi uses in Europe (Matrix) have a functional purpose which makes them significantly more sophisticated than what Mazda offers.

I have the new style LED daytime halos on my Mazda6. They are aimed high...essentially like high beams. I tested them at night. While in neutral and my LED headlights off, the LED daytime halos light up street signs and trees otherwise not lit by the LED headlights which have a rather sharp cutoff.
During the daytime when my LED headlights are off the LED halos operate at 100% brightness. At night with LED headlights turned on, the LED halos operate at about 60-70% brightness as to light up signs but not blind oncoming traffic as much. The reflectors inside the housing actually make the halos project further than I thought.
