Re Xenon, here is a colour temp comparison chart.
Most OEM xenons are 4300k in colour, a slightly yellow hue. Whereas OEM LED systems are generally 6000k, which imho is far too blue.
The second 4300k LED bulbs are on the shelves, with a cheap enough price, I will be all over them.

Ridiculous is the argument about negative effects on ones sleep because of LED headlights. I mean, sure - perhaps there are like two or three people besides you in the world switching their in-house lighting to remove blue light but for the rest of the world, car headlights have close to zero impact on sleep quality since people sit in front of screens all day, even before going to sleep. I'd say, driving at night, it is only positive that your brain is in day-mode, not setting off to sleep while you are driving. How often do you get home from driving and go to sleep straight away anyway? Take hour or two before going to sleep and you'll be fine. It is not like you can block out all blue light from your surroundings.
In terms of blinding, in Estonia and on our roads, xenons are definitely the worst kind. Must have crap blubs installed but man are these awful.
