Despite my original concerns, I dropped in an H4 LED from ADVMonster last weekend.

It was a fairly simple install, I only needed to shorten and reshape the bulb retaining spring. (Which is now worrying me a bit, as I can't seem to find a part number if I ever need to replace it.....)
Anyway, with all that I've read about LEDs not being compatible with buckets designed for an incandescent bulb, I thought I'd at least give it a try. It was a $45 dollar gamble I was willing to make.
Over the past few nights, I can tell you that it's a remarkable difference, and I am totally thrilled with the results. The low-beam coverage is similar to the stock, but just a lot whiter (as one would expect). However, high-beam takes it into ludicrous mode.
I really wasn't expecting these results when I saw the bulb. It's just two LED's with a lens over each, but the light output is simply amazing. It's only the first week into it, although they come with a one-year warranty, and 30,000-hour expected lifespan.
I'll keep you all posted of any new developments over the next few months.
