Round LED Headlight Retrofit

First post so I don’t know if I’m doing this right but here we go

I love how this fits headlights look and want to replicate it but don’t know what size those big round leds are. Does anyone know if a 7 in round headlight (like for jeeps) would fit in a 2013 Fit headlight housing?

It may be possible, but not without a lot of modifying of the housing...anyone try this?

Yes you can fit a 7" round led in the headlight bucket. The GD3 and GE8 headlight buckets are around 9 inches tall and take a fitting. But why would you want to put a 7" led bucket in there? There are aftermarket projectors that would blow those out of the water.

Those headlights are using the q45 projector. It's not an easy retrofit, the output sucks, it's low beam only, you can see the inner workings of the projector, but it looks hella cool if done right.
