Fresh news. I went to an official land rover shop and they can not solve the problem because they can only modify a minor amount things into our ECU.
They are going to ask LR for a permission to make the LED signature work but don't want to get my hopes up.
I really don't know what else to do
cartronics ?

Not impossible but will require a conversion kit from someone that can modify the lights or add a module that generates a compatible LIN command set. But if someone finds a way... please let us know!
Don't think LR will be solving this for you. As Phil said above it will need a conversion kit and LR are not going to producing this.

I have an electrician who is talking me into get an arduino and use it as sub-ECU.
Do you guys think i ll work?

If you can work out the LIN bus protocol and emulate it, then this could be a workable solution, Not sure if you could do this without a working 2016 Set lights to monitor a working LIN bus though to know what to do.

Has this been worked out. I brought the headlights hoping they
would go straight on.

I bought the Full LED Headlights in UK and they are now being modded in Italy to work with my Pre-Facelift Evoque. Will keep you posted once i receive them as they said they need a week or two to do the modding, and i will have to get them DHL'd out to me in Malawi, Africa, to test them...

Hi, who is doing this for you and what cost?

Hi Nick,
RD Custom in Italy. I paid £700 for the Pair of Full LED Headlights on Ebay and then paid €420 to RD Custom for them to adapt them. They have already adapted the Facelift Xenons, but hadnt done the Full LEDs as they hadn't had a pair to test on, so i guess mine are the guinea pigs... If you search for RD Custom on Youtube you'll see a short video of their working facelift lights with the Linbus Controller they have made...
