Default DS Factory style headlight, LED replacement?

Have a couple of 97 DS' that have factory halogen headlights and I'm looking to upgrade them to LEDs. Ordered a set on Amazon pretty cheap thinking they may work but the bezels at too small to cover the factory hole cut-out. So now I'm trying to figure out if anyone knows where or what style of LED light I can get that will totally cover the factory headlight holes?

I'm sure this has been answered many times but my google-foo is failing me yet again...

Thanks for any help or suggestions!

I ran into that same problem, mine is a woods buggy so I wasn't too concerned with the gap, but did wonder why they aren't the same size ?

Can you put the LED H1 bulbs in the stock housing like people do with cars? Or whatever stock bulb size it is... Is that not enough light? You could always get some lexan or polycarb to make a 'frame' around the lights you have to fill the gap.

The ones I purchased were not bulbs, they were multiple led panels, so I couldn't swap any part of the new ones over into the old housings.

I know, but the ones Fairtax4me bought were from Amazon, which is where I got mine, pretty sure they are from China, and while they look like the factory headlights, the dimensions of the housing aren't the same, and they are made differently when it comes to the back of the housing, the price was right, and the kit came with all wiring and also rear tail lights, but as usual with something cheap, there are a few differences.

Mine are an add-on kit for the headlights and take H3 bulbs. All I did was order a set of H3 LED http://www.ebay.com/itm/302313788863...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT off ebay and put them in about a year ago. They are way brighter and whiter then my halogens were and were a simple swap with the standard H3 bulbs. Durability has been great so far.....

I've not been able to find aftermarket factory size LED headlites. All I've seen are smaller that factory lites.
The simplest solution is as suggested, replace your bulbs. There's abunch out there to chose from.

What glassk said was to replace the bulb in the stock DS headlight fixture with an LED bulb available at Amazon, not the entire fixture.
