Actually it was woken up at post #215 ... the points made by mavs19 are very relevant. In the case of my personal project the time and cost was of no consequence. It is far different for a person/business who is doing this for re-sale. I have seen a lot of lights on vehicles lately that are sold through eBay or other outlets which have no ADR compliance. These lights generally are made of inferior quality materials with appearance being the main purpose. On the road these lights generally cause discomfort to other drivers due to uncontrolled beam patterns or inability to adjust the light aim satisfactorily - one set I saw (for AU) are incapable of adjustment.
Because of this road safety issue I fear it won't take long for the authorities to react and direct the police to start pulling people over for modified lights.
For a business to develop and then submit an ADR approval for a replacement AU headlight is IMO never going to be financially viable.
