    Anyone running led h4 bulbs, wanting an upgrade for lights since I do a lot of highway driving and like the look of the white light. I have stock headlight housings, will the LEDs throw the light the same or farther then halogens off the reflector or will it be worse.

    No experience with the LEDs, but if you do go that route, get good high quality ones that are designed to give the proper cut off, like these Philips:

    I went a different route and my lights can throw light much farther than the stockers:

    Note that light that starts to approach the superwhite/blue spectrum is actually worse for your night vision and can cause eye fatigue.
