Vehicles presented with converted halogen headlamp units first used on or after 1 April 1986 will continue to be failed."

It specifically says 'converted halogen headlamp' - the WIPAC units are dedicated LED headlamps, not converted halogen.

A converted halogen headlamp is a lamp designed for halogen bulbs that you've fitted with LED bulbs.
