Halogen to LED bulbs, simply swap?
Im looking to get rid of the yellow halogens for white leds. Apparently they are a lot brighter and they look 10x better. Is it just a simple swap of the bulbs? Or are they like HIDs?
Also, how does this work with high beam/low beams?

LED headlight bulbs will not generate enough light to be used on real world driving. Yes they just plug and play, but you will not be able to see a thing at night.
the new LED headlights on high end cars are completely different and aren't a simple swappable part. If you want, just do an HID kit.

Not really. I have a kit from this place on my FRS for nearly a year with no problems: http://www.theretrofitsource.com/
