Default PAR36 Lights in wingtip?

Can anyone tell me if a PAR36 light will fit in place of the RV7 wingtip lights. I currently have vans dual halogen setup in mine and have been thinking about replacing them with LED lights. Also, if they will fit, what modifications did you have to make in order to fit them and install them.

Found these online that I was considering installing..

Thanks,

I am all LED on the plane, but..... on my 4X4 Cummins diesel truck I have a set of 450 Watt 28V PARs in the winch bumper with a special power set up to run them, 16 AMPs each @ 28 V. These are the brightest lights I have ever seen. lighting up the reflectors on top the snow steaks for many miles ahead, and will auto ignite a piece of paper if held in front of them.

I think I looked at similar size but different brand and don't think I could fit this size OK. For the price you have other options which puts out much more light.
