Headlight upgrade: Xenon or LED?

Stand next to a new Silverado or F150 and notice the headlamps are almost at roof level for a regular sedan. New LED lamps are literally 10x-20x brighter than normal halogens. Look on Amazon and you'll see drop in bulbs advertising 30,000 lumens with names like "The Punisher", which indeed they are.

How illegal is it to mount rear-facing ones to get these assclowns to back off? Asking for a friend.
