Unusual Headlight LEDs ?

I am considering LEDs for headlights on my 75’s and have become aware of a fan assisted type – as may be seen on the EBay site below

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153713188...0AAOSw5G9dwp7a

The compatibility check says

This item fits 1 version(s) of the Rover 75 2002 Diesel Saloon 2.0 CDT FWD

and rest of the spec for these seems ok . In fairness to the seller , their photos seem to be the only ones showing you how to fit the bulbs but I have at least one query related to reinstating the cover for the lights unit as a whole . Will the base , bulb fan section:–

• get in the way of the cover
• overheat when the cover is on

Could , of course , not refit the rubber lights unit cover but then damp gets in ?
R75 headlights are actively ‘monitored’ so I am looking for a ‘Canbus ready’ variety. Whilst this is not mentioned in the spec they are of COB design (should be extra reliable) and , presumably , have built in resistors ie I take it they are Canbus ready.

Any observations / experience of these anyone?

Also welcome detail / refs to specific alternatives people have fitted and pleased with eg EBay site or other.

All the best and thanks.
