Default HID vs LED

One of my winter projects will be changing over the old school halogen to either a LED or HID headlamp. Now I'm all too familiar with LED lighting (in the emergency warning end of things) and have seen LED come from those crappy 5mm diodes to the current Gen 3/4 modules. Basically I'm looking to see if anyone has either for a comparison before I make my decision. Thanks

Talking LED comparison

I know you were looking at HID and LED comparison, but the linky below is a good comparison of LED systems.
Hope this helps.
