LED headlamps on most UK trims

Dip beam (low)H7VerifiedDip beam H7 across the whole Mk3 run, pre- and post-facelift. Ford 2020 European handbook bulb chart and agmvision Kuga 3 2019-2024 agree.
Main beam (high)H9LikelyMain beam H9 on 2020-2023 pre-facelift. Autodoc Kuga Mk3 headlamp inserts from four makers, incl. parts marked Facelift, list H7+H15, so the 2024 facelift main beam may be H15. Verify before quoting 2024-25.
Front fogLED (non-replaceable)VerifiedChart prints both "Base fog lamp - LED" and "Optional fog lamp - LED", i.e. no UK grade has a replaceable front fog bulb, with the footnote "To replace these lamps, see your authorized dealer." Pre-facelift 2020-2024.
Sidelight / DRLLED (non-replaceable)VerifiedChart row "Base headlamp daytime running lamps, position - LED" - LED even on the halogen H7/H9 headlamp, so no grade has a replaceable position bulb. Pre-facelift 2020-2024 spec.
Front indicatorPWY24WVerifiedChart row "Base headlamp turn lamp - PWY24 Amber", i.e. PWY24W. LED-headlamp grades use an LED indicator instead. Pre-facelift 2020-2024 spec.
Rear indicatorWY21WVerifiedRear indicator WY21W. Handbook chart prints the base "T20 Amber"; T20 is the W3x16d wedge, so amber single-filament is WY21W. PY21W is BAU15s bayonet and cannot fit a T20 holder.
Brake / tailLED (non-replaceable)VerifiedChart row "Tail, brake lamp - LED" on every grade, with "High-mount brake lamp - LED" as a separate row, both under the dealer-replacement footnote. Pre-facelift 2020-2024 spec.
ReverseW21WVerifiedReverse W21W. Handbook chart prints the base "T20"; T20 is the W3x16d wedge, clear single-filament is W21W. P21W is BA15s bayonet and cannot fit. agmvision Kuga 3 2019-2024 agrees.
Rear fogP21WVerifiedChart row "Rear fog lamp - P21W" (trade number 424). Its presence is also the decisive European marker confirming this is not a NAS printing. Pre-facelift 2020-2024 spec.
Number plateLED (non-replaceable)VerifiedChart row "License plate lamp - LED", unqualified and on every grade, under the footnote "To replace these lamps, see your authorized dealer." Pre-facelift 2020-2024 spec.

Can you fit LED bulbs to the Kuga Mk3?

Most trims of this car have halogen headlamps. In the UK, a halogen headlamp unit on a car first used on or after 1 April 1986 must not be converted to LED or HID bulbs: the MOT inspection manual (§4.1.4) treats a converted unit as a fail, however bright or well aimed it is. “Retrofit LED H7” bulbs sold for these cars are for off-road use. Halogen upgrade bulbs (+150% and similar) are legal because the unit is unchanged. Sidelights, indicators and number-plate LEDs are a separate question — E-marked LED versions of those are road legal.
