It depends... by halogen it sounds like you're looking to replace the headlights (since the other bulbs such as taillights and turn signals are not halogen). In that case, addison21 is correct, HIDs will provide better bang for the buck. Really good LED headlight bulbs are expensive ($200 or more). They need to have adjustable collars, strong and reliable cooling, and lots of power to be better than OEM halogen projectors.

 

On the other hand, replacing the miniature incandescent bulbs with their LED equivalents is quite simple. Some types will work better than others because of the reflector designs. For example, SMD tower LED bulbs tend to work best for the turn signals because the larger number of LEDs fills out the lamp better. But high power CREE bulbs often work well for tail/brake lights even though they only have a couple of LEDs. Always get LED bulbs that match the color of the lens (i.e. red LEDs for tail lights) except of course clear turn signal lenses would call for amber LEDs. You likely will need load resistors for the turn signals to prevent hyper-flashing.
