If you are going for aesthetics, LED is a better choice. It will last longer, no warm up time and no ballast.

Also less throw of the light and often less performance then HIDs, but again, that's for those that still want to be able to drive at night.

I agree, that why I said if all one want is aesthetics, LED is a better choice. Factory LED can perform as well if not better than HID. Aftermarket LED have came a long way as well, they are getting to the point where they can almost complete with HID as far as lumens.
