On the drivers side there is tons of room.
On the passengers side its probably not going to fit, but I will make them fit one way or another.

I got the drivers side beam issue sorted.
Backed the LED out about 4 to 5 mm, tilted the H4 base back about 15 degrees, rotated the H4 about 45 degrees to the left on my LED targeting range.
Took it out side pointed it at stuff, the beam looks great.
Most importantly put the light and battery on the hood of the suburban pointed the beam termination line at the horizon then stood in front of it, very good. Then crouched down to get at the level of one of those children driving in a lowered riced out civics, still good, defiantly tolerable.
The glare is nearly non existent. Less glare than OE halogen bulbs, and nothing compared to the crap I see people driving around with. Very pleasant to look at compared to most of the stuff on the road.
All I did to initially test and aim these luminaries was power them up with a battery, point them at my living room celling and adjust the position of the LED until I saw what I liked, then locked it into place with stainless steel wire and RTV and some little sheet metal screws plus hardware that came with the luminaries.
So if they burn out I am kind of screwed.
I may order a set of spares while I can still find them.
I am getting more light from one LED light assembly than I get from both 57 watt halogen bulbs.
Right now, if one of the OE style halogens burns out at night I am almost driving in the dark, I would only be able to see about 10 feet in front of my suburban.
So far the testing I have done with one LED headlight at a time shows me I would be able to see fine with only 1 low beam.

I would have to have the H4 LED assembly as a spare like in the picture of post 21.
Those ebay items look a lot like the LEDs I use for high beam only, they put off terrible glare.
