Default Any Euro JKs with LED headlight swaps?

Like the topic says: are there any Euro JKs that have swapped their headlights or fog lights for full LED ones? I'm mainly interested in the ones that have swap the whole headlight assembly since they seem to illuminate much better. I am also willing to hear about the ones that have only swapped out the bulbs too, since the full light option may not be possible. I'm aware the European headlights are wired differently, and that's why I'm curious on who has done this successfully. Thanks in advance!

Got my Stock head lights replaced (after corrosion issues) under warranty with Hella with just the standard bulbs by the dealers 4 yrs ago and noticed a great improvement in both spread & especially full beam.
LED headlamps are way too expensive for what you get in return.

A shop in France sets up many of his customers JK's with Speakers.........they seem to be happy but from what i've seen With euro standard lights (Hella std reflectors) and PIAA xtremewhite or Phillips vision Plus bulbs I get a better detail definition with less glare!! Add to that when I drive on road in UK Leds are not legal (1 week in 4) and barely so in France and fines stiff!!

That will change soon since many of the high end auto manufacturers are starting to have LED lights all around.

I have JW Speaker 8700 evo's which are RHD and road leagl in the UK. UK dealer sells lots to the Landie crowd.

Just passed my MOT and even have the new LED fogs, but that's because I love the LED's
