I wonder myself Dave and the only explanation I see is the lack of true 
concern with safety from the US authorities. Otherwise how can anyone 
explain the criminally indistinguishable all-red rear turn signals, 
orange parking lights, the bright-to-dim turn signals all around and the 
absence of the European Asymmetrical beam?

To date I have yet to see a hack kit which would be at least adequate to 
true European halogen lights, let alone rival the true HID of either 
European or even the US DOT specification.

In fact the "kits" that I did see would light up the road rather poorly 
as if the light source were out of focus in its reflector. I suspect 
that clowns who put them together never studied the so-called "Science" 
in high school, much less "Linear Optics" in college.
