Theirs a lot of options out their for LED headlight retrofits, they have cooling fans and are somewhat bulky but do exist and perform actually pretty well. A friend of mine tried them on his Ford Focus and the light output was better than halogen but not as good as HID. But worth the money as the nice white look vs the halogen color was so much better. Just do a search on Google for LED headlight retrofit and you'll see a ton of options.

Which is best. Who knows. But just because it's more expensive doesn't mean it's better. Do your research.
