Most people that tried LED conversions, as mentioned above, give up and back it out. The projector lenses don't distribute light well from LED bulbs so what you end up with is an ill-defined beam pattern.

Retrofitting Xenons can be done with an aftermarket kit and a number of people have done that. The legality of doing that is debatable as your existing lights are almost sure not to have self-levelling and may not have a cleaning system. Those that have fitted aftermarket kits can probably pitch in here.

I simply fitted up-rated bulbs, adjusted the beam level and cleaned the reflectors and that made sufficient difference for me. Osram Nightbreaker Plus/Unlimited/Laser are all good.
