LED headlights retrofit

Hi guys
I bought my 2015 3GT from the dealer in March, silly me didn't take the option for the LED headlights and have halogens! Anybody know where and how much I could get them swapped out? Anyone had them done? Did it affect any coding in the car? Cheers all!

Stock halogens aren't bright, at only 1400 lumens, but Osram Rallye halogen bulbs at 2100 lumens are as bright as most LEDs, and they're an inexpensive simple swap option.

I was looking at their site and was considering the night breakers. Could you link me to the ones you are talking about? do you think they would be brighter than the night breaker?

This is the only US source:

There are probably others in the UK and Europe.
Look at the lumens, not the hype.
