Headlight upgrade-you gotta do this

[thomasnihart]

I did notice the web page for this item does not mention a DOT
approval for these bulbs. In fact there is a disclaimer at the
bottom of the page which warns some of their products are for off
road purposes. Another problem with this type of bulb is there short
life.
