Smile LED headlight conversion kit

Greeting to all.

I recently purchase "
OPT7 FluxBeam H7 LED Headlight Kit OPT7 FluxBeam H7 LED Headlight Kit
" from Amazon to upgrade my car headlight (R350 2009 model) from Halogen to LED. However, the LED bulb I purchased is too bulky to fit inside the housing as it has a fan at the bottom. I would really appreciate if anyone here who has successfully upgraded to LED can share with me the conversion kit that fit my car.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you for your reply and sharing. I am thinking of trying Kensun 55W HID H7 Conversion Kit, has anyone here installed Kensun HID before?

Update:
I have installed HID conversion kit but not Kensun. It is a China made, paid about USD180 for this. Not sure how long it will last but I am not very happy as it is a bit too bluish and black/dark spot.
