Completely agree with @J_C here.
HID's or LED's will never work correctly in a reflector style housing that was never designed to use them.
Even using LED's in a projector that was designed to handle an HID or Halogen bulb will still scatter the light because an LED chip does not create light the same way a filament or ionized gas does(due to chip placement, chip thickness, etc).
The "HID Planet" forum and the group "Headlight Junkies" on Facebook are great places to learn about proper retrofits and why headlights are designed the way they are.
