Default Switching Recessed Lights to LED

We want to switch all of our recessed lights to LED. Went by Pike's Electric in LSL...they told us that the entire fixture/unit gets replaced. Approximately $50 for each recessed light and then a variable/decreasing labor charge to do the work ($85 for the first, a little cheaper for the next few, cheaper still for the next few).

Does anyone know if this is something we can do ourselves? And why can't you just switch the type of bulb?

We are just REALLY tired of light bulbs burning out waaaaay before they're supposed to (yes, we mail them back to the manufacturer for replacement, but that gets to be pain in the you-know-what)...and we're tired of the slight buzzing the lights will make. LED lights seem so much whiter/brighter/cleaner.

Any thoughts?
