I have JW Speaker 8700 Evo 2 LED headlights in the 7" buckets on my M37. Mine are the model 0554941 (black inner bezel). Tim Holloway installed them while doing some other work on my truck. I think all that was required for them to fit was putting a new notch in the mounting ring (??). I'm no longer overrunning my headlights. They are not cheap, but worth it. JW Speaker has a great reputation.
If I were doing it now, I'd probably go for the model 0556281 - same design, but adds a heating element on the lens from driving in winter conditions (LED lights don't generate enough heat on their own to melt off snow or ice.) They were not available when we installed the new lights in my truck.
