Not for headlights but for DRLs and marker lights.
White LEDs are produced using a blue LED and red and green phosphor in the package where the oputput combines into what your eye thinks is white light when you look at it. The output has a distinct spike in the blue spectrum and smaller blobs in the green and red as opposed to the continuous spectrum of sunlight or incandescent. If you look at an object this light reflects off of it may have some strange colors, not suitable for driving.
