LEDs currently on the market do not distribute light in the same way as a halogen bulb at all, meaning your beam projection is going to be very poor. While it may seem brighter because of the cool white color, you'll actually be decreasing the functional output by using LEDs in a low beam or high beam application.

This is why we only offer LEDs for fog lamps, a non-critical component, until we find a solution for headlights that distributes light in a way that meets standards for DOT compliance. It would not look like anything you currently see on the market though- lots of work to be done.
