Better off sticking to trusty halogens like the assemblies were designed for, but the upgraded variants.

Fair comment, although there are some higher end LED companies that have addressed the light projection issue, especially for projector style lenses.
The LED body not fitting into the headlight housing has been another issue on some applications, although this is also on the improve thanks to fanless designs.
