Led headlight upgrade

Hi blokes and gals, has anyone fitted an led headlight and if so which one and are there any pitfalls, my last bike MT09 TRACER had them as standard and damn I miss them.
Just fitted Heed engine bars and driving lights and now the headlight looks lame.
Thanks in advance.

Pitfalls would be probable mot failure, possible premature failure of cheaply made but expensive kits, and poor beam pattern from standard reflectors if simply changing the "bulb" part.

I'd like to add to Rusty Nuts post by saying that if swapping out the "bulb" is also technically illegal, personally I don't have a problem with it but I've tried various LED bulbs and none of them produce the correct pattern in the Strom headlight. that's if you can get them to fit at all.
My advice would be to save your time and money and buy some thing like this for a whiter look

or for just more light output
