I'm going to swap out the halogens in my truck for new bulbs. I've got HID's in my Mustang and I love how much brighter they are. I've been thinking I might try LED's in the truck, but haven't seen them in person yet. Just curious if anyone has done both and which they like better.

I had HIDS in my truck for a couple of years. Switched to LED and they are awesome. Softer light, great throw and no warm up time as the LED fires to full brightness right away. Some say it interferes with the radio. Can't tell here as radio signal is crap already. I would imagine if they did interfere it would only be when they are on. I bought from a start up company called Helios Optix through a group buy. I would defiantly buy again.
