That is first thing everyone need to upgrade on Kadjar which doesn't have factory LED headlights.
Here is mine.
 
September 2016 1.2 TCe 130 EDC - Alpine white
Zen Energy with upgraded rearview camera

R-Link v.9.0.35.416 [Build: 5689] with activated Android Auto & Apple CarPlay
(upgraded from radio/bluetooth to R-Link multimedia of phase 2 Kadjar)

Maps: HERE 2022Q2 & TomTom 2018.12

Thanks!
I only changed standard bulbs with LEDs. (low and high beams + front fog lights)
6000K white (little beneath) with integrated cooling fan, and ballast for limiting current. (~6000 lumens)
No dissipation of light plus projectors in headlights "draw" a line same as with standard bulbs. (no blinding of incoming drivers)

Just a word of caution for members in the uk 
from other forums about different vehicles it appears that it is an mot fail in the uk if you replace your headlights with LED bulbs ( unless the vehicle had leds as standard from the factory)
iam not sure what the situation is around fog lights etc
