As The Laird is aware, the 5 LED ones I fitted required a little bit of surgery to the hole through which they project into the reflector housing as the distance across the diagonals (being flat sided) is greater than the diameter of the glass lamp. Literally a matter of a square peg in a round hole. As I had dismantled the whole assembly for cleaning (as per Iyoles excellent guidance - see other thread), it was an easy matter with a file. Trying to do it in situ would leave a lot of plastic filings within the light assembly. 
The sidelight colour now matches the headlights!  ... though the main beam H7s even with the Philips x-treme "100% extra" are still very halogen yellow..
