And what would be the benefit of replacing the standard units with LEDs ? 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

IMO, it COULD be a better alternative to HIDs as they should run cooler and a re much smaller all-in-one system. I'm doubtful though as they seem to only have 2 diodes and may not produce 360' spherical light.

Just want peoples thoughts...

I think your biggest "issue" particularly with LED main headlight replacement is that the std halogen headlights are based on reflecting an incandescent globe whereas LED had quite different dispersal of light. So whilst the LED will produce far more "Lumens" of light the reflective set up of the headlamp assembly will result in poor visual output. MY15

No - not a straight swap, read this post. You will need to make loom adapters and a DRL controller 2014 SE Loire Blue SD4 Auto (MY15)

Is there anywhere that does an off the shelf loom for this yet?

I've recently bought a set of these lights, but my wiring skills are ok-ish at best. I don't mind giving it a go but I have a feeling I'll damage more parts learning how to build it than it would cost to just buy it ready made

Looking through the amount of work required is scaring me slightly Laughing

Can anyone help me, I have bought a new pair of these headlights from eBay to do this conversion but unfortunately the off side light is a EU lamp. I have emailed the seller and they said they don't have anymore but I could adjust it by adjusting the hexagonal screws on top of the lights and putting it on a light box does anyone know if this is possible. Unfortunately I have also bought the loom adaptors so if I send these back then I'm £250 down and no lights to fit.
