1981 Honda CM400 headlight replacement / upgrade, LED?

Last night I was leaving my church and noticed my low beam light was out on the bike. I flipped it on high beam and it worked fine to get home. But, this morning, I started the bike up to find out that the high beam was also out... Now, I still have to pull it and make sure its not a wiring issue. But, it does seem to be the bulb. Its the old sealed type, and it looks like it has water in it.

So, in the event that I do replace it, does anyone know of any upgrades that are commonly done? The headlight on this bike is absolutely horrible (and its widely known). It also seems ridiculously pricey to replace at ~$50. So, I'm thinking now would be a good time to perhaps spend a little more and look into LED replacement or something better that allows me to safely see in the dark. I just have no idea what is available to the motorcycle world.
