Default LED versus HID plug and play kit?

Hey everyone

Now that winter is coming closer, it's getting darker sooner. I'm searching for a good headlight kit (No sealed beams like I have now. They are so dim!)
I find safety very important (yes, I know a C3 isn't safe at all by today's standards).
And of course if adds up to the look of the car... that's always a plus.

I was thinking about going for LED's or HID's.
Which one do you guys prefer? Advantages/disadvantages?

I'm from Belgium. The two year vehicle inspection (for oldtimers) around here is very very mild. They just test: brakes, chassis rust, signal lights, headlight adjustment, tires, suspension and steering, and if they can see the (Chassis) VIN numbers clearly.
Don't know if there are some good European manufacturers of healights that fit C3's?

If not Is there a good kit on Amazon that you guys know of that ships to Europe?

- Found this nice set of lights (Besides the look, I don't know if they are practical):

- Or maybe some like these would be cheaper? (Don't know which type they are... Just saw this in a short movie.)
