This is reasonably feasible with an arc (HID).
In my view, multiple LEDs spaced apart are never going to match a filament correctly - especially single-sided LEDs which can only emit from one face.

For this reason, LED headlights need to be fitted to a projector designed from scratch for LEDs (IMHO).
