Default Now available Led headlights retrofit

I know there has been alot of people including myself have been wanting to know whether or not retrofitting led headlights is possible and up until now I was told it is but the cost is not worth it, its just not feasable and too much is involved. Well, i found 2 listings on ebay there maybe more and apparently theres a couple of people in the UK says they have convertion led headlights retrofit for 17 and older F Types and its plug n play. they also claim to have convertion for XF and F Pace and LR Evoque and Range Rover Sport as well.
here's what the ebay listing says "no warning lamps on your dashboard, no opening of lens, same connector, no wiring, no coding & 2 years guarantee, AFS or not"
these maybe the same person just different seller names.
here's the 1st listing
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jaguar-F-...4AAOSwA2hd3-AR
listing #2 (says does not ship to US) here's their insta account https://www.instagram.com/ja.land_rr/
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CONVERSIO....c100167.m2940
So who wants to go first and give it try??

Secondly, I would like to know if anyone has retrofitted the euro spec F Type headlights to a NA F-Type?

Interesting project. I believe that US style headlamps are slightly different from European style, due to US requirements about an orange reflector or something like that in the US style headlamps, so make sure you get the right model.
Does anyone know if the improvement in visibility is worth the effort?

F-Type, the reason Im considering swapping to the european spec because I don't like the orange reflectors on the US version, the headlights looks so much better without them especially on the all black housing and if the euro version F Type headlights are anything like the Audi eurcodes, not only are the headlights brighter and the beam cut off line is a little higher.

But you have to get the lamps designed for LHD markets!

I agree that the Euro headlights look better! The units are shipped from the UK. Since I am on the mainland - and thanks to Brexit - tariff and customs handling will add 40% to the sales price so I am not so keen on testing these, but if they will beoffered in EU trade zone I might go ahead.

thats what I was mainly concerned about, and if it has to LHD spec, i think the car has an option to switch the headlight beam left or right whichever side of the road the car is driven on.
