Here's an animation showing the difference between the assumed OEM standard halogen sealed beam headlamps in my van and the Sylvania Xtravision replacements.

I think you have to click on the photo above to see the animation.
I wished I hadn't moved the shop light in between frames but, regardless of that, the new headlamps do appear to be slightly brighter, whiter and to project a much
wider beam.
I did not look into switching over to LED.
While washing the van recently I noticed an impact crack on one headlamp. The outer surface was still smooth. The missing chunk is loose on the inside.

I'll probably stick with standard or xtravision and not get any brighter headlamps.
