Definitely. Does add a touch of glare, but nothing excessive.

I removed the spring clips to install the lights, then reinstalled once the LEDs were in the socket.

Sorry for butting in.

What brand of bulb and also interested in how the access covers fit back on, if they do.
Since I used the type with the copper ribbon as heatsink, the stock covers fit back on correctly.

... they generally come with a separate adapter plate for the particular fitting (h7 etc), you just clip that in, then the bulb twists into the base plate.

This is the style I used:

The vendor I got them from no longer has them available, however any in the same form-factor should work.
