Which LED bulbs are you getting?
Surprise, surprise! I received the LED headlights yesterday! I got these:

They are listed at 1600/1800 lumens and are roughly the same brightness as the stock HIDs on my 2004 Mazda 3. Not as focused since they're not projectors like the Mazda, but still a
significant improvement over the halogens.
The LED kit is from Japan and has official CREE LED elements.
Here is how I installed mine:
1. Remove the baffle behind the bulb (turn counterclockwise)
2. Disconnect the power from the bulb and remove the bulb (turn counterclockwise)
3. Disassemble the power plug, pull the wires back through the baffle (including the rubber plug)
4. Reassemble the power plug outside of the baffle
5. Enlarge the hole in the baffle using a 1/4" drill bit to let the power plugs and cables from the LED lights pass through
6. Install the LED light -- the fit may feel loose and require you to use the grommet from the old bulb
7. Pass the power cable(s) for the LEDs through the baffle and connect them
8. Connect the power cable to the ballast and test!
9. Reinstall the baffle and secure the ballast -- I attached mine to the side of the lens enclosure with strong Velcro
I also got these for the license plate:
