They won't fit in the citylight opening.
The units in the eBay ad are 24mm in diameter.
The 6 LED units from ultraleds.co.uk are 10.65mm in diameter and the 4 LED units from autolumination.com are 11.12mm

yah, i put onthe leds from ultraleds and they are way better than my old
also changed my hot LEs to the colder one. loving it.
ordered the wide angle lights but acidentally broke off the bulb so not sure if it made a diff between the wide and the original 1 u had.

I found the Ultraleds leds to be too blue ...
for my 4300K HIDs, so I installed these Bellof Sirius 5000K leds, instead. Better matching colour light, but more complicated to install and only comes as wedge bulbs. I soldered a BA9 base onto them.

Well they look bluer as they are at least 6000k colour temperature
That's why they make the stock 4300k mains look yellow.
I agree that 500k bulbs will look better with the OEM headlights because a 700k colour difference isn't as noticable. In fact when I had 5000k bulbs with my OEM 4300k headlights it looked very nice since the fogs were a bit 'brighter' and whiter and suited the foglights.
That is why I warn people that use these bulbs that if they want to make it all look nice then they have to upgrade the mains and fogs to 6000k bulbs as well.
