So I decided to not go HID but instead went with LED headlight bulbs to replace my stock halogens. This is more of a feedback from my experience as I haven't seen any info on how LED headlight bulbs perform. I'm referring to the newer designed CREE type LED with cooling fins and driver relay harness designed for headlight application not the older design with the SMD clustering all around the bulb..
The bulbs appear to be in high quality fit and finish. Installation was easy and the wiring harness all fit right inside the headlight housing. No bulky ballast or drilling needed.
How did you get the hard back plastic cap to fit back on as the LED has the bulky cooling fins that take up so much space?

If you're referring to the dust cover, there was no problem with that at all. There's enough clearance for the bulky bulb to fit and the dust cover to attach back on without issues.
Just finished my '14 IS-F in 5000K. Everything was spot on, except my front dome assy. actually took 3 bulbs, versus only 2 reported in this guide. It's a Canadian car FWIW, no SOS button. Thankfully I had an extra 360-style bulb in 5000K.
Reverse: N/a, already had some from my previous car
This setup is incredibly bright, perhaps moreso than I wanted. No complaints on the puddle lamps being so bright though, it's a priceless feature. Install was very easy and straightforward, except removal of side mirror glass, which made me sweat.
