One can make an LED light work with modification, I know because I have retrofit HID projectors/bulbs from a newer car into my older car. THE LIGHT WORKS the same as in the factory car the bulbs and projectors came from.
There are cars from the factory ( Simply illuminating: Cadillac introduces its first all-LED headlight system | MLive.com ) that have LEDs I am sure these could be retro fit as well. There also many other bolt on LED options out in the form of fog lights and other auxiliary lights that come with their own housings. Ask a rally driver if those work or not.
Just so we are clear.
Retro modding, retro fitting, retro: taking the ENTIRE lighting assembly (from a newer car) and 'modifing' the entire assembly so it installs in an older car. Leaving the proper light source in the proper housing.

Plug n play: installing inncorect light sources that 'fit' into an existing lens designed for another type of light source.

Light source: 1. hid, 2. led, 3. halogen Each have a diferent light spectrum and hot spot and are not enterchangeable despite 'fitting' at the base.

btw, if have posted at hidplanet in the past
