    No. LEDs run in a halogen reflector will produce glare, loss of beam pattern and loss of performance.
    See this thread for examples: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/why-leds-should-not-be-run-in-halogen-reflectors.454371/

    To run LEDs you need to swap the entire housing with something designed for LEDs, like the Morimotos which will give you clean cut offs.

    If you want a lower cost option, look at either a high efficacy stock wattage bulb like Philips +130s, or a higher wattage alternative like this:

    I have an update coming to that high wattage version this month, which may be brighter and will run at a lower temperature.
