Do you mean the US regulations or the EU regulations?
My links/post regards the EU regulations.
UN (formerly ECE/UNECE) GTR. Was under IWC GRE alternative Mandate that was extended twice.

Reason for these changes are:

Improvement in Halogen bulbs providing performance equal to or greater than HID

Phase out of HID

Improvement in lens coatings to minimize contamination buildup

Difficulty managing heavy De-Icing situations with Solid State lighting. Headlamp Cleaning system often causes thick ice buildup when used in cold weather.
