LED Headlight upgrade 356SC

Does anyone have experience of fitting an LED headlight upgrade to a 356 with H4 units.  I purchased a set from Roger Bray but the 'transformer' and other bits are hard to house within the headlight bowls.  They press on the sprung headlight unit and this results in the aiming mechanism being pushed out of line. There just doesn't seem room for all the gubbins and the original connector terminal in the headlight bowl.

I changed some time ago got lights from dynamo and regulator conversions company.
Using them at night, I was amused to have an oncoming modern car flash me to dip my lights! 
I changed all the other lights as well including the flashers now using a digital flasher unit.
the ones I use have 2 braided straps to dissipate the heat into the rear of the headlight bowl, they fit well.
They are definitely the way to go..
