Currently, we do believe HID xenon headlights are superior as low beam driving lights. LEDs, by and large, serves well as a cosmetic upgrade and mainly for daytime use (as seen with BMW, Audi, Lexus, VW, etc. utilizing LED daytime technologies and designs on their newer cars).

LEDs and HIDs, when not well-designed and thoughtfully engineered, can easily overheat and damage electrical components (depending on the circumstances).

We would suggest running either halogen or simple LED upgrades in the meantime until the LED headlight kit technology is well-tested and that long-term tests have been conducted, as well as taking care of the bugs and design flaws before they are rolled out.
