The issue with LEDs is that they are surface mount light sources and not point sources. That means the light shines away from the surface and not evenly in all directions. Have a look at the picture in the link you provided and you will see what I mean, it shows the emitters side on. No way are you going to get the same amount of light as head on. You might get lucky and pick a bulb where the direction of the light suits the reflector you have really well, but then again, you might not.
Your lights do two jobs; they let you see and they let you be seen. LEDs are excellent for being seen because the provide an intense light very close to daylight, but because it is very hard to focus it without a properly designed reflector, they are not so could when it comes to seeing what is there. If you did mainly city driving, they might be fine, but I would not recommend them for avoiding the wildlife.
