Alright, thanks for the update dead - since they don't completely fit under the cover I ordered some other ones that looks to be pretty compact and all in one. Once installed, and tested, I'll report back on fit, lighting, etc.
I will just note that after testing many LED headlights, I recommend you either leave the dust covers off (but don't do that if you drive a lot on dusty roads or sand etc) or make a modification to it so that the back of the LED light that contains the fan can blow out the air. If the air is blocked by the dust cover, things will get super hot. Those "twist in" LED replacements generate an absolute ton of heat and compared to those installed "factory" they are not designed to be in an enclosed environment without access to getting rid of that hot air. I've seen people complain about warped or melted plastic and other issues caused by putting them in and putting all the "lids" back on. For one idea on how to modify the covers, here's a video. But do note that should the rear of the light get super hot, you risk melting the dust cover.
