They need to check their regs. There are no such thing as ADR rated lights anymore. That particular ruling got abolished many years ago.

At the moment there is no regs in the WoF VIRM relating to LED light bars, but NZTA are looking into adopting the aussie rules though. When that will happen no one knows.
So at the moment the only way a LED light bar will pass for a WoF is to fit them on the roof (then they are no longer a WOF item), or have them wired as either a fog lamp or as a driving lamp.
