Not on F-bodies but I do have experience with LED headlight bulbs on my other vehicles. After going through different sets of LED headlight bulbs, I had to go back to HIDs, even with correct projector housings, the reach of LED headlights DOES NOT even compare to a good set of 55W HID kit. LEDs are instantly full brightness and color as soon as you turn them on, but their reach may not be noticeable until you have to drive vehicle on the highway, needing good lightning at night. Based on my experience I will stick with 55W HIDs with projector housings until LED Technology advances.

Plus, I don't think LED headlights are designed well enough to LAST. From what I see on Amazon reviews, they dont last more than a few months, sometimes less. And it's usually not the LED chips themselves, but the cheap drivers they come with.
