If by headlight you mean the low beam, LED bulbs will not be bright enough.

Just get a HID light kit. I got a decent kit with bulbs and ballasts for 70.00.

Yup yup, I had them on my 07. Had them installed by Aerotect and they matched so well with the 5 spoke 18". Now I have gunmetal rims and don't know if I should do it again.

Here are some photoshops done by Seize on an 08 grille just to give you an idea

If you're talking about the lowbeams, just change the D4S HID bulbs to 6000k or higher. If you're talking about the high beams, just change the bulbs to those blue bulbs and the bluish color will reflect on the reflector to give a bluish tint to it. If park lights, just change the 194s to white LEDs and they'll light up bluish at night. If fogs, just get a 6000k or higher HID kit for them.
