I've found LEDs to be hit and miss. Granted I didn't shell out for the DD or morimoto. I got a couple of sets from Amazon. You need to make sure the diodes look like the ones on the DDs. 3 small CSP chips, no lenses, etc. I used them in the projectors of my Subaru legacy, and the first pair I got were dim as fuck. Foglamp bulbs. Fuck. Second set are brighter but still weaker than halogen. Also got a pair of H4s for a CR-V I had at the time and they were bright as fuck. You can get good headlamps on amazon but you have to be picky and willing to return them if they suck.

At the end of the day some housings just won't reflect enough light from an LED because it's expecting a filament to be there instead.
