H7 LED headlight Bulb Install

Has anyone installed LED bulbs in their OEM non projector headlights. I have a 2010 128i conv that i want to put either LED or HID bulbs in. Generally the LEDs seem to work better on my other cars because the HIDs in my experiance sometimes would have an issue firing.

Do these fit? I have coded the errors out for other LEDs and have no issue doing these too

Has anyone done this.

I have used Torchstar LEDs on my other vehicles and they work great, no issue with reduced voltage for DRLs

Looks promising. so they increase the visibility, but they do not produce more glare for the other drivers? is that your experience with the other cars you have these installed on?

Really dislike when folks put HID bulbs in their halogen housings. Absurd amounts of glare and really irritating for those in the oncoming lanes.
