So, I would like to add LED headlamps to my Scrambler. However, my situation is unique. This CJ is air conditioned and with the condenser located where it is, there isn't much room for a normal LED lamp. They all have fairly large housings. Any recommendations on a brand or model number of a unit that may fit? Thank you in advance.

Not sure of the fit, but I have heard good things about these.

I used a set from Quadratec that bolted into buckets in same location as standard bulb. @Randyzzz had to do some adjustments to get his to fit..
If I was doing it again, I would likely get the Holley

I used the standard Hella H4 7" light and then bought the LED H4 globe from Superbrightled.com. Great result without needing much more room. It has the added benefit of looking like a traditional light and not like the more 'modern' cateye light.

H4 LED Fanless Headlight/Fog Light Conversion Kit with Compact Heat Sink - 4,000 Lumens/Set - Cool White
Increase your safety and visibility with this H4 LED headlight/fog light kit. The dual-intensity LED headlight bulbs emit 4,000 lumens of cool white illumination per set (2,000 lumens each) and feature 3rd generation cooling technology. They have integrated heat sinks instead of short-lived fans...
I appreciate the feedback from all of you. I'm going to look at the condenser situation again and see if there is a way to either move it down or, potentially, finding a condenser that would fit better. I do like those Hella H4 lamps but with the depth of the heat sink, there will certainly be clearance issues.

I had to do more than just adjustments to get them to fit. The backside of the housing was just a hair too large to get them to seat properly. I found this out after I trimmed the back of the buckets to clear the wiring harness. I ended up taking a couple of universal headlamp mounts off Amazon and doing some mods to them. (I think they were intended for Harleys.) if I was to do it again, I would also go with the Holleys. Pics of the modifications:
Here’s the OEM light and the QTec light.
This is a drawing of why the QTec lights wouldn’t fit in my stock buckets.
Amazon buckets installed.
Amazon bucket measurements.
Notching the Amazon buckets to fit the CJ bezel.
Backside clearance.
From the front.
Had to bend/tap the lower bezel retainer to fit too.
So… lots of clearance this way but lots of work to get there. Still not driving it so I can’t speak to how they work.
