I thought about doing a h4 kit, since the pair is about the same as buying 1 bulb at the FLAPs...
but they all say QUOTE These headlights do not meet DOT safety standards and are sold for off-road use only. what is your experience with these? and are they ok for street use? what gives? |

No one has ever noticed my H4s including VA. Tho' VA did question my 911's OEM-type H4s.
The relays are definitely needed for the high wattage (especially 80-100W) bulbs to preserve the light switch. I agree with those that said that the lower wattage halogens don't need relays. Offroad only gets the manufacturer off the hook in states that care about such things. Modern cars and regulations have changed a lot since the days sealed beams in standard sizes were required. I got mine when they we not legal because they had the Euro pattern that thru more light to the right away from oncoming cars. And more light period. |
