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? |

I am using "pelican parts" h4 with 55/100 watt bulbs!! no special wiring no special relays, (even will putting a kill switch in had my mechanic down there about it and no need) and the extra light is awesome and really safe when you need it, i have drivin "big sur" coast hwy No. Cal. 3 times in the middle of the night and the first time with 55/60 h4 and the next 2 times with 55/100 h4 and I will never go back to '70s 914 lighting.. same for the fogs, i am using 85 watt piaa h3 bulbs and again no special wiring no extra relay, (with j west flasher) and they just flat out blow awy 35 watt 1970 driving lights for safety and usefullness..
as far as legality in your state.. blah blah no police are going to notice your lenses with the lights on and when they are off they are down out of site.. unless your going for a concourse trophy i definately recomend h4, damn half the cars on the road today i think they have their brights on but nope just better lighting of todays cars.. |
