There's actually a VERY big difference between LEDs and HIDs. Most people assume because LEDs are so bright, that they are better than HIDs. Actually, that's not true at all. HIDs will outperform LEDs a majority of time. To properly use an HID, you need a projector housing. If you look at high end cars or cars that come stock with HIDs, most of them will have that projector. That projector is what allows it to throw the light properly, aims it, and gives that extremely nice cutoff.
Most people who just swap out their bulbs to LED are doing it wrong. Even through the light is bright, its extremely scattered. To properly use an LED, it needs to have a properly housing with reflectors which is what you're seeing now on a lot of high end cars.
