    Same form factor doesn’t mean same reflectors. It just needs to fit into the same space. You can fit LEDs into that space.

      You could, but capitalism … most cars do not get aftermarket reflectors, no one would pay the significant cost, and LEDs fit into standard reflectors. There’s a whole bunch of failure here

        We’re talking about the sealed headlights with the reflectors contained in them. LED versions have their own reflectors that could be (and I assume are) tuned to work correctly with LEDs.
