Default LED Low beam legal in NSW?

Hi everyone, just spent so much money on HID kits and now I convinced that they're illegal, viewing the ADR recommendation, looks like it must have self levelling and a cleaning device.
My car has a driver controlled manual level controller as well as washer for the headlights. I just found some new 13W LED H7 LED globes which will be bright enough and convenient to use in the low beam setting. Having a look at the "Appendix B", at the ADR recommendation, a line that I was not fully understand.

"Paragraph 6.2.9., amend to read:



"6.2.9. Other requirements



….



Dipped-beam headlamps with a light source or LED module(s) producing the principal dipped beam and having a total objective luminous flux which exceeds 2,000 lumen shall only be installed in conjunction with the installation of headlamp cleaning device(s) according to Regulation No. 45. 8/



With respect to vertical inclination the provisions of paragraph 6.2.6.2.2. above shall not be applied for dipped-beam headlamps:

(a) with LED module(s) producing the principal dipped beam, or

(b) with a light source producing the principal dipped beam and having an objective luminous flux which exceeds 2,000 lumen.



Only dipped-beam headlamps according to .… "

So does that mean they're talking about >2000 lumenous flow LED and other light devices for use in low beam? or just plain ANY LED used as the low beam?????

Please have a look at comlaw website as teh Appendix B is an ammendment of the cluster 6.2.9:

"6.2.9. Other requirements



The requirements of paragraph 5.5.2. shall not apply to dipped-beam headlamps.



Dipped-beam headlamps with a light source having an objective luminous flux which exceeds 2,000 lumen shall only be installed in conjunction with the installation of headlamp cleaning device(s) according to Regulation No. 45. 7/ In addition, with respect to vertical inclination, the provisions of paragraph 6.2.6.2.2. above shall not be applied.



Only dipped-beam headlamps according to Regulations Nos. 98 or 112 may be used to produce bend lighting.



If bend lighting is produced by a horizontal movement of the whole beam or the kink of the elbow of the cut-off, it shall be activated only if the vehicle is in forward motion; this shall not apply if bend lighting is produced for a right turn in right hand traffic (left turn in left hand traffic)."


This is the item I think it would do the job for me:
