While still illegal in the US, Osram just had a LED headlight retrofit approved in Germany and Austria.
The list of approved vehicles is very short, but it is a promising start.
This does not mean that LED retrofits in general are a good idea. In this case, Osram threw a lot of money at research and then lobbied to get it approved.
The current crop of retrofits are complete crap and decrease safety, but it looks like a safe retrofit is possible.
Here is the complete article if interested. Google translate does a reasonably job job of translating.
