Default LED headlights for a C3?

I don't see a lot out there. I'm looking for LED headlight without glow rings and all that nonsense. Found something from Top Gear Autosport, they arrived quickly enough, look real nice, but there is no way they will fit in the 72 headlight bucket. I did a whole lot of trimming of the bucket and some on the headlight itself, no luck. Now I can't get these guys to return my calls. Anyone know of another vendor for LED headlights?

No cutting and they'll accept LED bulbs like these

There is a thread over in C3 Tech on this (one of many). Looks like Octane lighting has a good drop in kit. I have used their conversion on my C4 with good results, and will most likely do my C3 with them as well.
