I would be interested to see what they say. There are companies that make LED units that look similar to the HID bulb. Headlight Experts is one of the companies. Also companies on aliexpress.com You have to bypass the ballast with a plug and play decoder connected to the light. I've switched over to LED in a `92 Olds, `09 Pontiac, and a `15 Ford. All of them are brighter, whiter, and run cooler at less wattage than the Silverstars I had in them previously. The HID in the `12 Camaro suck. I've tried 4300k, 5000k, 6000k, and all of them are just too dim.
