But the headlight and projector / reflector lens system must be designed and certified for LEDs.

Many (smart) countries forbid fitting of LED units into headlamp assemblies designed for halogen or HID lamps. For obvious reasons.
@SwissXC90: you are totally right and that is what I should have mentioned: retrofitted LED dipped beams in halogen or HID units. What an advantage it would be to have the possibility to upgrade halogen units to HID or LED beams, if conforming to the technical inspections.

Totally different question to you: what is the length of the MfK actually ? Is it 3 years from the day taken ? I was told it is even more thorough than the HU/AU in Germany ? Looking at CarForYou from time to time and tempted by some of the offers :-)
