Where to put these?

Decided to migrate from "incandescent" to "LED" and goes without saying that this change of illumination brings up the dreaded red light on the meter.
One of the alternatives is to put an anti-OBC module inline with the headlamp wiring.
Ledperf has these two units that are plug-and-play without the need to modify the factory harness.
The problem is the placing of these devices - where, to?
Your suggestions are most welcome!

The bike:

The anti-OBC modules:
5W W5W Plug & Play anti-OBC-error module

Ultimate anti OBC error Module for H4 LED Bulb of Car and Motorcycle
 
Update: asked the question to Ledperf and here is their reply, “You have room in the original case to put both normally.
Here are the dimensions:
W5W module: 30*16*11mm
H4 module: 81*46*25mm"
(original case=headlamp bucket)

Have to say that their customer service is very responsive!
Now, waiting for the units to arrive.
 
Disappointment :cry:
The headlight shell being shallow, the anti-OBC unit plug prevents the reflector unit from sitting into the shell.
Anyone know if the plug can be snipped off and spade connectors directly attached?
If this can be done, then please recommend a shop in Mississauga that can solder the spade connectors?
Please check out the pix for more clarity.
The red rectangle on the anti-OBC unit is the plug and the plan is to snip that off and solder the spade connectors at where the arrow points.
The spade connectors are directly seated on the bulb [red rectangle on the bulb pic]

Closing off this topic.
The "offending" plug was snipped off and a H4 connector (from NAPA) was grafted on.
The assembly was wired, tested and the headlight fixed in position without an issue.
I now have LED lighting at a total cost of $120 vs the BMW cost of $600.
BTW, only NAPA had this item in stock, not Crappy Tire/Parts Source or any other parts shop. My last resort would have been to purchase the harness from BMW at US $60 and cut off the plug from there.
The NAPA plug cost CDN$5.
