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

Thanks for such a complete answer, and taking your time to discuss the matter. Listen if you had to find a good LED option for your FRS what would you go for? . All this understanding how leds work requiring a special optic framework to focus the beamlight in order to achieve a maxmum distance.
I've seen what you can buy on the market its mostly CREE do you know any other quality brand. ?
Thanks
