I originally thought that (due to the huge price) these were specific LED lights (like Wolf and others are selling), but it seems they are same ones they sell as Halogens, just with the LED upgrade in, meaning that they are illegal as you state.

You can get a set of P700's for £50 new, and ClassicCarLighting due an LED upgrade for under £50 Here

So you can get an indentical set up for less than 50% of the better car lighting set up (if you are pre 86)
