Those LED bulbs may not be road legal - many are not and can fail the MoT. I've used the Wipac crystal lenses with nightbreaker type bulbs for years - they are as good as many modern cars, providing the wiring is up to scratch - I've also fitted the boomslang harness.
I feel your pain with the postal crapness - even on an Island as big as Ireland!

Me to. Postage and tax now are the problem. Been buying from an Irish source now as no difference in price.

Xenon is a gas, LED is a completely different technology
You can get xenon filled filament bulbs or HID High Intensity Discharge, the 2 are not interchangeable

tried OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER 200 H4 found good around town where light bounces of object etc but on country lane with no road marking and trees and hedges light seemed disperse so then fitted OSRAM FOG BREAKER Headlight Bulbs 2600K YELLOW H4 12V 60/55W bearing in mind it was when I had a Freelander now the daughters they may have upgraded since my purchase but
I will be looking for yellow LED'S for my 1957 Series one not in the rivet counting brigade patina WTF
