Why don't you visit your local state highway department and tell them you're running a truck with missing emissions equipment and a tuner and it doesn't comply to federal emissions standards. They may or may not care.
I've been running LED lights in both my headlights and my fog lights and I'm sure hundreds of locals and state police have seen them along with many others and I have ever been stopped because they're installed and adjusted properly.
I actually know the two DPS officers in my region because they are good friends with my father(who is also a police officer). One of them actually has a deleted F350. It still does not make it legal for either of us just like it does not make it legal for people to run HID/LEDs in halogen housings blinding people on the road.
As I said before, enforcement is sparse depending on where you live because not many officers even know about the rule. That does not make it legal or keep you from being seen as an inconsiderate d-bag from the people you are blinding. Some places know the law and will stop you while other places may only write you a ticket for if they stopped you for another reason and you are being a d-bag to them.
Ironically, these d-bags don't like the taste of their own medicine. If I see these lights coming at me then I turn my bright lights on which for my truck is my HID lights unfiltered from my projectors which is exactly the same as what they are doing to me with their unfiltered HID/LED light. They don't like it very much, but they don't mind doing it to other people.
Like I said earlier if your LED headlights are installed and adjusted correctly you're not blinding no one.
