I've installed a pair on my Gen4 and the temperature difference (Kelvin) compared to the original headlights' LEDs was shocking.

Not too many suitable LED H3 conversion options are available.

After trying a couple that totally distorted the beam pattern, finally got a pair of perfect Osram's LEDriving HL Easy H3.

The key is these (Osram's) have the same distance from light source to base, keeping the focal distance untouched

What country are you in?  I think all UK.Jimnys with halogens use H4, and LED external retrofit lighting isn't allowed here anyway.

They are clearly marked as "Off-Road use Only".

Filipao is not in the UK, so might be legal where he lives.

Like e-scooters, DPF removal services, etc, it's legal to sell this stuff but illegal for almost everyone to use it.  MOT testers specifically look for retrofit LEDs in halogen headlamp assemblies now; LEDs fitted into other external lights (DRLs, stop lights, fog lights) are also not legal under the RVLR but I don't believe the testers check them.

Retro fit LED is allowed in the U.K. but you need an approved housing and need to follow the guidelines. On pre 1986 vehicles you can also legally fit bulbs like these for road use. I know this doesn’t help any Gen4 owners and is U.K. specific. Just wanted to point out it isn’t a blanket no on LED upgrades.
