Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.’ to ‘Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) or light emitting diode (LED) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID or LED bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.

Interesting, they've now included LED conversions as a fail, up until recently it was just HID conversions. I've linked to that same document on another forum (I posted Nov 2020 on the GSX1400 forum), shame I didn't quote it as I'd like to know what the wording was and how it was changed
