(IMHO)

Ultimate Headlight Upgrade for SPL/SRL311 =

(1) set of 7" round
headlamps from Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon 
(1) set aftermarket High-Intensity
Discharge (HID) kit. (35W or 55W)

I use a similar setup as above but with
Bosch HID projectors from an E46 BMW.  And that replaced my initial 100W H4
Cibie/Hella headlamps.....which replaced the stock 55W sealed stock ones.  
HID > Halogens 55w or 100w


At last years JCCS show, there was a vendor
selling aftermarket 7" round headlights integrated with a HID projector lens
housing.  Basically, a cheaper alternative to the MBZ G-Wagon housing.  I
forget the name of this vendor......

Lastly, as far as I know...  LED
lighting technology is NOT used in main headlights on modern cars.  LED
lighting is used to light up tail lights or other indicator/accessory lights
or to create a glowing outline (eg. Halos, angel eyes, stuff you see on newer
Audis....)        HID/Xenon lighting technology is used for lighting head
lights.
