Given it is a kit car and over 40 years old (so no MOT) you are unlikely to run into legality issues unless the converted lamps are dangerous/have incorrect beam pattern. Pre 1980 vehicles of any sort do not need to have "E" approved fittings.

However - most retrofit LED bulbs are hopeless - even if very bright. So the sealed beam replacement units already mentioned are by far your best bet. I notice you see them on a lot of Land Rover Defenders, which also have 7" units. Have a shop around on the 4x4 websites and e-bay.... I fancy some for my Spitfire.
