Not too sure, I think as long as it doesn't flash then you are ok. They keep changing rules, some are ok for mot but not traffic laws and visa versa.

Only lorry drivers can illuminate their motors all the colours of the rainbow and get away with it in this wondrous land, scum like us will get a pull, go for it.

LED's of any sort aren't legal unless fitted and homologated by the manufacturer.

Isn't that just when replacing existing lamps?

Possibly, if in doubt check for the appropriate E mark.

After reading this post I remembered I saw an article in an old truck mag about lighting regs, the mag is Trucking and from 2007 and the regs may of changed now.

(No, my memory is not good enough to remember this from 2007, I was looking through it the other day!)

Just to clarify... because I misread it to start with you mean the manufacturer of the LED lamp unit not the vehicle .

Maybe it's changed, but it used to be that led's weren't legal unless they were fitted by the manufacturer, hence them being sold as 'not for highway use'. Manufacturers can homologate things for use, HID systems are another example.
