> I have a state safety inspection coming up on my new-to-me V8.
> It has E-code (European) headlights, which are not DOT approved.
> My fear is the inspector may call me out on them.

> I seem to remember a thread where the DOT relaxed requirements
> and allowed e-code headlights. Am I dreaming? Does someone have
