Hope this helps a little, not sure of USA testing standards. Ours are similar to European I think.

I believe the Aussie test is really the European one: at least the car shown being crashed is marked as a Euro test car in the photo that accompanies the test report, and timing of the test reports seems to suggest as much. Can anyone down under clarify. In any case, a good test result.
Of course, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's just released evaluation of LED head light performance should make the luxury makes look over their work: only a Prius model good as high as a "good" mark. This is why we have a market.

What's wrong with German headlights? In the IIHS evaluation the BMW 3 series were the worst halogens in the test group. The 2016 C-Class LED projectors produced essentially the same amount of light on high beam as the halogens while the LED reflectors (on high beam) were notably worse than the halogens.

Another issue is the IIHS is now conducting the small overlap test which the government does not and is not used to calculate the 5 star ratings. The small overlap is failed by many US autos and contributes to fatalities.
