I can't say I miss the LED headlights when driving my daily LCV but then most of my driving is in a well lit area so bright lights aren't really needed and new cars coming the other way annoy me with their blinding lights. I also prefer the retro look from the outside on my daily. SZ5 headlights are unbeatable though on your own on a dark road.
They're quite a bit more than £500 each on Jimnystyle. The wiring may well be different too, so you'd have to be pretty determined to do the upgrade.
The dirty little secret of LEDs is that they dim with use. If you drive a lot, after a few years the lights won't be as bright and there isn't much you can do about it. If cooling is really good and the components are fully shockproofed, they stay brighter for longer.
I find Osram Silverstar H4 are a good balance between light output and longevity, and they are usually accurately made. Some H4 bulbs give a terrible beam pattern because the geometry of them isn't quite right.
