I have contacted them and quoted price is ONLY for the service on the owners LED headlights.
Other words or you need to send them set of 2018MY LED headlights which then they will "tweak" for you and resend or they can provide already "tweaked" headlights at ~2350GBP
From what I know yes but it requries at least 2kusd on top of set of led headlights.
I want to retro-retro fit, I mean if I have LEDs, I want to go back to HIDs. And I want to do this from a car to a car, I mean If I have a newer car and find older car willing to swap, is that possible?

My small contribution to this thread: Wiring diagram for MY15 F-Type headlights. I am not sure how high level this is as I am sure there re more than 4 wires, lol. Although these may be the critical ones.
This wiring should be the same for all MY until 2017. The diagram shows four main signals for the Xenon headlamps. I will try to hunt down the 2018+ wiring diagram soon, it's late here and I am done for tonight
The main problems in fitting LED headlights are:
-on LED the DRL and direction indicators are driven by LIN, not by +12V. Can be fixed by modifying a CCF and a very minor wiring modification
-once LED fitted and wired the DRL, DI and main beam would work, but high beam won't, even if +12V is applied to a corresponding pin of a headlight
-LED headlights have 2 CAN buses - one is dedicated CAN between LH and RH headlight, another one goes to a HS-CAN of a vehicle.
-Once the HS-CAN is connected to a LED headlight - the headlight will stop working (no main beam, no DI, no DRL, no comms on a CAN bus) untill it is fitted to a original vehicle.
Yep. The LED headlights receives incorrect data and shuts down. So, some sort of a CAN adapter is needed, but the development of such a things is a pain.
As for me - in case of mine XJ i decided to fit a bi-led lenses in original headlights (AFS working, everything working) and, as a result, i have a much better light than face-lifted LED XJ. That would do a trick for a F-type too, so apart from a look/design its a good way for those who wants just better light.

Thanks for the information. If that is the case, this is much more complex than most of us would be able to tackle. This thread is likely dead as far as the 2018 swap is concerned.
How did you get the AFS to be functional with aftermarket lenses?
