Here's what I bought (low and high beams), not available right now though. At least it'll give you an idea of what to look for.

LED headlights

I added LED headlights to mine and they are working great. Very happy with them. It's a bit of a tight fit but the covers do close with no issues. I used them for low beams and high beams. I have the LED's in my Subaru and most of my bikes too. I even recently added LED bulbs to my front and rear trunks.
I own a motorcycle accessory business and H4 and H7 bulbs are popular in bikes. The lights I sell are manufactured by Cree and I've had very good results with them.
The toughest part of the install is getting the wire retainer in place. Cheers. Ernie

I had one headlight go bad last month, it gave me a reason to replace the weak halogens that came stock on the S. I found an led replacement that was recommended by someone here on ebay. No mods, plug and play. Much brighter than the old halogens.

Perfect! Thanks, as long as I have an idea of what will physically work, that'll help

Yup, I sure did. Beauty of the ribbons is that they can be redirected to where there's more space.

Thank Ya Sir..... There are a bunch of this style for sale on Amazon..... Some Chineasium some name brands (also Chineasium, sigh!) but the prices for these are very reasonable prices.... May have to give a set a try..... But have to polish my lenses first..... I can barely see the road driving to work at 0h-Dark-30!

Thanks!

Bad Bad idea leaving off any cover. I concur with PW. On my VW Sportswagen the smaller rubber cover came off the passenger side headlight and a Tree Frog found it's way inside. It could not get out and finally died. Glad it was not a snake. I hate those. Funny story right! I have no idea what happened to the cover, but I ordered another. All is well now.....No more Frogs!
