When I looked into this, the issue was with cars and not bikes. You can
fit LEDs to cars if there is some self-levelling of headlamp aim and
headlamp wash-wipes. Those rules don't apply to bikes.
I also read that these rules only apply to lamps above a certain light
output.
That could make more sense. But I think you're wrong. That is the problem
with headlight regs. They don't mention light output.
I tried looking up the claim and have come to the conclusion I must have
dreamt it. From:

Please note that since January 2021, the MOT Inspection manual has been
updated to include LED bulbs.
Section 4.1.4 now states the following:
€śExisting halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with
high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) bulbs. If
such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.€ť
This is a brand new update that seems to only focus on headlights.
There are no mentions to fail other LED bulbs such as brake lights, tail
lights or reversing lights."
