As far as what I have seen with my own eyes- LED headlights suck. They light everything- like, EVERYTHING- up very bright white, but the light doesn't actually get thrown very far in reflector housings. Objects the light is shined on will light up well, but the actual light on the road is very lackluster- again, only talking from personal experience.
Pictures are deceiving, as my factory '01 headlights looked AWESOME in pictures.
Unless you're doing an HID projector retrofit, I would recommend sticking to a halogen lamp with an upgraded relay harness.
I've seen great results with Osram Nightbreaker lamps.
On the other hand, retrofits aren't too difficult, and can provide AMAZING light.

As you can clearly see in the last picture, the light is not scattered into oncoming traffic whatsoever.
