I wanted to replace for these ones which will make it look much better.

But I think they look kindda cheap. I also want these to make with a xenon kit or a good LED kit but it's hard to find a decent LED kit with good lumens output and besides that for a LED to reach the same distance as xenon-hids you need an optic enclosure designed speifically for the led die.
I'm realise you're into the subject and have knowledge so let's start discussing
I know a little bit about everything and I happen to know a bit about LED's, HID's and Lasers. I don't actually know how to make them and I wouldn't even try. The technical challenge of making an LED system bright enough to use as a headlight is too difficult unless you're a mechanical and electrical engineer. I am sure that to make an LED headlight you need a fancy lens. The housing and heat sinks required for LED's, and especially a laser, is technically challenging in an already hot engine bay.

If you want a laser system, you also need either an HID or LED system as a laser cannot spread out very wide, it's very focused by default, which is why they work great at extreme distance, you actually need a lens that spreads the laser out because it's so focused. The HID or LED system will be your standard low beams and high beams and the Laser your extreme distance low beams. A laser system high beam would blind anybody looking directly at it, like a hand held laser does.

Sorry, it's just not in your future, unless you're rich, in which case just buy an Audi R8 /problemsolved
