If everything fits INSIDE the bucket and BEHIND the lamp it will be super easy.
If the plug and power adapter need to be mounted OUTSIDE and BEHIND the
bucket, there's plenty of space but requires more time and care.

The solution I worked out used a Hella 7" round conversion lamp with a
fanless LED bulb generating 2200 lumen at 6500K. The fanless H4 design
allowed enough room for everything to fit inside the light bucket without heat issues.
Whole task including alignment took about 20 minutes.
Hella 7" Glass Conversion Headlamp, High/Low Beam (SAE/DOT) 002395301
JDM 4S-H4-2200 LED Conversion Bulb Lumens=2200 (low) 3000 (high)

I also converted everything else to LED including position, directional, brake,
license plate and Stewart Warner intrument lights. Big improvement.
Instrument cluster markings really standout with LED light.
Everything plug-n-play with the exception of (2) relays replaced
with solid-state units so directional flasher worked properly.

Have fun with your car this Summer.
The "Ford vs Ferrari" movie with Matt Damon (Carroll Shelby) and Christian Bale (Ken Miles) is out in June.
Your little Cobra will get lots of second looks when the movie trailer promos start.

"It is also not so crazy bright as to upset oncoming traffic."

Upsetting oncoming traffic is usually less an issue of brightness and more often a result of poor aiming, poor pattern and/or mismatched lens/reflector/light source (e.g. LED bulbs in headlamp assembly designed for halogen bulb).
