Two of my sevens have LED lamps all round. The headlamps are fitted with the Seven Workshop "standard" 6.5inch reflectors (one with pilot light, one without). I believe these were originally intended for scooters or mopeds, but I may be wrong.
Whilst these provide a much better forward light, the biggest advantage of LEDs, to my mind, is the improved performance of tail and brake lights, which hopefully alerts any sleepy modern driver and prevents a rear end shunt.
As regard whether additional flashing lights are legal or not, I think we worry too much about legality at the expense of being seen clearly at night (and during the day). In fact, having read an article in the latest FBHVC News, it seems that most LED headlights ( and flashing indicators) are in themselves illegal, as they cannot meet the specified wattage for these applications. However, legality looses out to visibility as far as I'm concerned and I have no intention of reverting to filament lamps.
