The NZTA are currently reviewing the Headlamp standards and so things could change, but for now the WoF rules states: It is permitted to replace a complete halogen headlamp unit with a complete HID or LED headlamp unit. If the vehicle is required to meet an approved safety standard for headlamps, only approved headlamps can be retrofitted (see Figure 4-1-1).
Vehicles required to comply with an approved headlamp standard are:
vehicles of class MA and NA manufactured on or after 1 January 1992
vehicles of class MB, MC, MD1, MD2, MD3, MD4, ME, NB and NC manufactured on or after 1 January 1996.
A 1995 Defender should be classed as an MC off-road 4wd passenger vehicle.
The other issue would be making sure that the Performance Criteria of the lights are met- according to the current WoF regulations. As outlined in your first link. 作者: 3691011 时间: 2020-11-16 16:53:59
