LED headlamp bulbs in a 2011 car might be an MOT fail. Only legal in pre-1984 cars, I believe. I don't know how often they get picked up by the testers though...

Ye I was going for the full headlight upgrade not the bulb upgrade the headlights are legal as from factory they're put on cars so I believe they will be fine, I know changing bulbs are illegal not heard anything about the headlight itself
