I put a Kensun HID kit onto my Lexus (projector housing) and it looks stock. I would really like to add a kit to my F-150 (normal housing) but the scatter from it would be a safety hazard to other drivers and likely would not improve my view much.
Chance of a HID or LED retrofits into a reflector housing without much glare to surrounding traffic is very rare. But for some projector housings LED and/or HID may work.
JHZR2 tried H11 LED bulb in his Accord and the result is very good. He said that nobody high beam him on surface streets and on highways.

These pictures below are posted by JHZR2 in the thread linked above. I copied here so everyone can see how LED bulb may work in a projector housing.
Very little glare on the back of the truck:
Very bright, much brighter OEM H11 halogen bub.
