The extra cooling components might cause the bulb to not fit in your headlight.

I emailed a vendor a couple of weeks ago about a set of LED bulbs I was interested in, and they basically said they couldn't be 100% sure because they hadn't worked on an FR-S before. It was further complicated by the fact that I have aftermarket headlights.
so i just ended up buying them, they were plug and play, no issues, if anybody wants to buy leds I recommend those in terms of build obviously i haven't tested durability lol
