Default Replacing headlights with small LED light bars?

I've seen it done once, and it was apparently a tricky task with a special bracket or something. But I was wondering if anyone else has done it. I'd like to replace my headlights with two (on each side) light bars, that would fit inside the housing area. I'm assuming the hardest part would be to find a light bar that's the correct size, since mounting it shouldn't be that hard.

You know truck lite makes led head lights that bolt right in?But if you daily drive your jeep i wouldn't use any leds for headlights,They don't get hot enough to melt snow off the lights.

Yeah, the $500 ones right? If I still drove this thing daily, I'd probably save up for those. But this is a trail rig now. Plus I kinda like the look of it.

I mounted a set (2) (20's) on my Bull Bar yesterday beside a set of Hella's I was surprised with them as they came from Wal-Mart and I bought a set of Halogen Fog Lights for the rear of my basket for back-up lights.

Both sets were on clearance and the price for both was just under $40.

If you look on ebay you can get then under 200 each or 388 a set.
