I seem to recall one or two prototype race cars (LMP class, I think) that are
experimenting with stacked LED's for headlights.

(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. B And that replaced my initial 100W H4
Cibie/Hella headlamps.....which replaced the stock 55W sealed stock ones. B 
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. B Basically, a cheaper alternative to the MBZ G-Wagon housing. B I
forget the name of this vendor......

Lastly, as far as I know... B LED
lighting technology is NOT used in main headlights on modern cars. B 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....) B  B  B  B HID/Xenon lighting technology is used for lighting head
lights.
