I haven't seen LED headlights yet, or any LED lamps for that matter that will approach the output of a 60w halogen bulb for anything close to the same price, something like this would cost $50-75 a piece I bet. HID is a popular upgrade but it's also expensive. The cheapest thing you can do is install a headlight relay with heavier power cable directly off the battery, this makes a noticable difference in brightness apparently.
On the HID front... am in China right now and at the buyers market the Bosch ballasts and chinese bulbs kits, dual beam, are selling for about $125 canuk dollars. (Whether or not HID or HIR or good old halogen is up to the nut behind the wheel.) I sorta think HID is not a good idea, but at this price I'm dumb enough to buy one and play with it off-road. If it works... great. If not, it can go on the shelf beside those fancy H-4 things I got for the YJ that didn't work worth s**t!!!
