anyone know why these are illgeal, wouldnt LEDs be brighter, therefore safer at night?

A lot of the problem has to do with the fact that led's have a very limited angle of light dispersion (10-45deg usually) whereas the standard incandescent things shoot light in almost all directions.
This causes problems with things like tail-lights which use a reflector to disperse light everywhere... with led replacements you'll often only get a dot of light in the middle of the lens.
Also when you consider the limited viewing angle of led's (except for luxeons) the light output isn't comparable to incandescent bulbs yet... its just focused more.
