LED bulbs do not provide enough light output for driving. It will be like putting a candle in your headlight. No, It cant be done for night driving.

if you want to upgrade your headlights to a brighter light, buy a HID conversion kit. they give you the pure white color of LEDs and are much brighter than regular bulbs. i recommend this site.... www.xenoneyes.com

The only Lexus that runs LED headlights is the LS600hL.
The technology involved is serious stuff. They run very hot and need a special cooling system to keep them from burning up.

paintrain is right. HIDs are the way to go.
