I don't really know how the GULG loom is set up, but I'd guess that the supply to the toggle switch (and then onto the lights) is switched by a relay and is protected by an inline fuse. Connecting the supply directly to the main beam will mean you now (possibly) have no separate fuse for your lamps? If your LED lamps are of the typical 10W design they'll be drawing around 1.5-2A which will be OK sharing a feed off the main beam. The lack of a fuse I'd see as more of an issue - fit an inline one, say 3A (but double check the lamp's current draw), just to be on the safe side.
