Any reason no one has really converted to LED headlights with projectors as opposed to HIDs?

The cree LEDs have been in use for some time now, and I was just wondering why I haven't seen any threads about them?

Drop in LED lamps still have a ways to go. The reputable products on the market do not match the lumens from a HID so it's not really worth it IMO. Then there is the performance of the LED within the projector...

I have a set of projectors and was thinking about grabbing a set of LEDs just to know what output is. But that is a spring project since my car is in the garage, covered up.

I have 4x6 led sealed beam assembly from HIDkitpros and absolutely love them, they are bright as hell too!

look here for some major information on leds in stock headlight housing...

Most Drop-in LEDs don't properly use the optics of the housing and aren't as bright as the lamp they replace.

Almost always, the beam is negatively altered. Extra foreground, and lost distance lighting.

There are some threads in HID Planet's LED section with plenty of comparison pics and videos.

The only one I've seen that was anywhere close was the Phillips H4 version (and maybe one or two copies that came close).

At a minimum, you want a tight narrow row of LEDs oriented in the same position of the original lamp's filament if you want to get anywhere close to use the optics of the housing for usable forward lighting. Most drop-in kits miss this mark by a wide margin and the ones that are close aren't that great either.
