What you’re talking about aren’t LED headlamps, these regulations (auto-leveling and washers) are mandatory for xenon headlights. LEDs don’t fall in the same category as xenon headlamps. What is interesting is that halogens have maximum allowed lumen rating which is a lot lower than what xenon headlamps can have and LEDs can have even more.

So it's based on the lumens and it's hard to make HIDs that don't exceed the limit, but easier with LEDs. I just assumed that your LEDs were bright.
