Any drop in 'headlight' led retrofit will look white in the housing from the front, but the actual light output will be dismal at best. There is only one focal point in the headlight, and it is optimized for a filament light source.
Same thing with dropping in an HID kit, the light will be brighter, but because of the physical location of the arc, and the shape of the arc, it will not have the proper pattern in a reflector housing. More light output, but compromised pattern and glare for oncoming traffic.
HIR bulbs are about the best option if you are keeping the stock reflector housing, otherwise a projector retrofit with HID's would be on my short list.
