Why not either see a NSW RWC tester or ask the NSW RTA equivalent? At the end of the day, they are the gate keepers and if you want to remain compliant, they are the ones to speak with IMO.

Ended up just going with a set of these:

A little spur of the moment purchase haha - I blame sleep deprivation.
This is an old problem with our standard 55/60w sealed beams on poor wiring feeding through a string of terminals, connectors and switches.
Went down the path of Double reflector Hella semi sealed with 90/100w globes and upgraded, relay fed harness. Worked good enough to think I'd found the answer.
Then spent $60 on these

and another $70 on some 55w HID 4300k H11 globes and 55w digital AC ballasts
So now the patrol is ADR legal with decent headlights, and has "fog lights" that emit bugger all glare but light up the road hi/low like the latest spec SUV.

Yes work well, happy with them.
Your best upgrade and cheapest for the results you’ll get is:
Upgrade the factory crap wiring off the headlight stalk using heavier gauge wiring and run individual relays for your low and high beams (2 low/2high).

I fitted the above and then replaced the globes (+110 come with them i think) to the Philips Diamond Vision 5000K whites and led parkers (which come with the globes). $70 on special at Autobarn a while ago. They aren’t ADR approved having a blue tinge but you’d hardly notice and I’m pretty pedantic about putting non compliant stuff on my GQ. Adjusted properly. Never been flashed in the year I’ve been running them. Great spread and light m. High beam is unreal. Especially going from the underpowered factory headlights (yellow and dull).
Note: You may have to cut the headlight recess surround to fit the above as they weren’t a straight fit. Takes maybe 10mins so.
