Went to the Lasfit site as suggested by Nelson G and found two all-in-one bulbs: the H7 6000LM LCair Series and the H7 7000LM LAair Series.

What's interesting is that this text appears on the H7 7000 LM LAair Series product description, but not on the H7 6000 LM LCair one:

● The OEM rubber dust cover can be put back on

Lasfit LAair series H7 LED bulbs are the perfect solution for vehicles with small headlight housings and round-bottom LED bulbs that come with a separate power cord, leading to a larger size and height that prevents the OEM rubber dust cover from being placed back on. This can create concerns about dust or water getting inside the headlight housing. With Lasfit LAair series H7 LED bulbs, such worries become a thing of the past, as they are designed to fit seamlessly with the OEM rubber dust cover and prevent any dust, water, or debris from entering the headlight housing.
Nelson G: Were you able to put the dust cover back on over the H7 6000LM LCair? I assume so, but would like confirmation. Thx

This is the one I used. It has a fan in them to keep them cool and is a direct replacement for the halogen. Plug and play.

I purchased: H7 LED Bulbs 50W 5000LM 6000K | LCair Series, All-in-One Design × 2. Not the H7 6000LM LCair. And they did fit and the dust covers went on with no problem

With a little help from my friends here, I replaced the front low beams and the front turn signals. Pretty easy glad I had the 90 degree needle nose players. Dust cap on fine. I tried the high beams but the radiator overflow tank is in the way and I didn’t want to empty and remove it, not even sure how to empty it. Plus the lamp is in a deeper compartment then the low beams. I would like to replace the eye lid lights. So I’ll read again the link that Nelson posted. The low beams and turn signals are bright. Next I’ll attempt the rear lights. Any trick in removing the trunk covers to get to the lamps?
I’m liking this crossfire more everyday.

I didn't empty my overflow tank. I just moved it out of the way. It's held in by two 10mm nuts, and a rubber grommet goes through a hole under the tank. Tip: spray the grommet under the tank. This will make it easier to remove and put back.
Here's a post I just did:
H7 LEDs

Great to hear, I’ll do them tomorrow. The passenger side eye lid bulb was a bit of a challenge.. Are the 2 eyelid lights suppose to be on all the time, mine aren’t. Not sure if they were before. They come on when the switch is turned to the middle position and the headlights. Also what do the lights do when the switch goes to P with an arrow when I turn it left?
This forum is helpful, just came back from a 130 mile ride up the Illinois Great River Rd…with the top down on a 80 degree day.

Every light should be off when the switch is straight up. If you have fog lights, I believe it should be pushed in to be off. The eye lids both come on when you turn the switch one click to the right of center, or when you turn it to the left of center there are 2 dashes. One lights up just the driver side eyelid and rear light, the other lights up just the passenger side eyelid and rear light. This is required when parking on the street in Europe.
If you were driving with the lights on, when you turn off the ignition and pull the key out and leave the car, the lights will stay on for about 30 seconds then shut off automatically.

Should the eyelid lights be on when driving during the day with the light switch off? If not then i wonder what’s the point of the eyelid lights.
also interesting about the European parking lights.

When I drive my base model roadster during the day, I turn the switch 1 click to the right. That lights up the eyelids, all 4 side marker lights, and the tail lights. I have leds in all of my lights and it makes my car easier to see by other drivers.

Is that a year as in a years worth of seconds in the 'on' position or a year as in January 1st til December 31st and then you'll need to replace them again?
