Yes, go for the full LED lighting package if you can. It looks the best in my opinion and well worth the extra cost.

They're actually both LED, just with and without lighting package. LED was standard on all 2014+ models. The lighting package gives you cornering illumination so when you turn the steering wheel, it lights up the corners.

In addition, the LED lighting package offers high beam LEDs (versus only low-beam LED in standard lens), and more aggressive/luxurious lighting graphics in the DRLs.
