Default Headlight upgrade to LED?

Really like the looks of the 4th gen LEDs on the headlights, wondering if there is any mods/upgrades for the 3rd gen? Ive got an 07 450h. I am referring to the LEDs underneath the headlights - similar to the new audi's that I have seen driving around.

Probably manual....I read something somewhere about it being pointless as we have "quad" lights and it wouldn't flow so well (the new GS is one headlight piece, so the swoosh looks better). On our models, you are still left with the inner portion / drl lights without led under them, so it wouldn't flow as well.....
