Not wanting to appear a Barrack Room Lawyer .... but the OPs reproduced rule refers specificaly to changing a halogen light to a LED light .... the Lucas P700 Tripod repos on ebay can be bought new with either the halogen or LED bulbs .... if you bought the LED version you wouldn't be converting the lamp unit .... it would have been an LED light unit from new .... might be wise to keep the reciept in case of a query at MOT time though.

How would an MOT tester know
these available from bettercarlighting were legal under the new regs? An E marking on the reflector if there at all couldn't apply to a lamp with a choice of two light sources by way of replaceable bulb surely. I doubt a tester would be swayed by a piece of paper either if that was the only evidence of approval, he would just see an LED bulb in a halogen headlamp.
The seller mentions they "have been granted all the relevant approvals" apparently without knowledge of the new regs
I would query any LED headlamp reflector assembly that doesn't have precision projector optics and cut-off on dipped beam.
