The preferred way to go with LED is an HID-retrofit (still in grey area legally). At least that way, you're not blinding oncoming traffic with glare. Note that even with TWO LED bulbs in TWO HID-housings, output is still less than single HID light.
Hello @cuggi5!!!

I agree with @DannoXYZ, If you want to go with LEDs best way is to use a Projector retrofit. Actually I think I will go back to HID since, as you can see in my retrofit, one HID has better performance than 2 LEDs.

If you don't want to go that way, there are some Philips high performance halogen bulbs that will work great on OEM reflectors.
