Unless you do a real internal LED (OEM) retrofit/conversion, I wouldn't touch any LED insert type bulbs. I don't even know if they make a re-based LED bulb to fit a D2S/D4S or whatever OEM HID socket your car uses. I wouldn't try it. Real LED lighting needs real projection, real power, and real heat management. All of which a aftermarket "bulb" doesn't have.
I'd recommend a BI-LED projection conversion. Preferably OE (KOITO) or there's some decent aftermarket ones too. Check TRS.
Headlights (good light anyway) is not as simple as plugging stuff in. There's a ton of precise details that must be right.
Personally if I were you i'd polish the headlights on the outside and purchase new HID bulbs (they fade heavily over time) and the difference will be night and day.
