    Joe,

    I am surprised that you dismiss so lightly, a regulation that was designed to cripple imported cars: After all, let's not forget that US needs to protect the local vehicle industry otherwise they'll become extinct like the British industry: Surely, you don't expect a fair (level) playing field, do you?

    con....(tongue-in-cheek)

    PS. I seem to recall that the French that something similar to imported VCRs (as they had no locally manufactured makes).....

      Having used both DOT and E code lights in my own cars, I have
      concluded that the DOT pattern is pretty laughable. I have only one
      question for the person or team that outlined the DOT's
      specifications: "Why?!!"

      I am unable to think of any benefits to the DOT design--they are
      inefficient at using the light from the lamp, they glare more to
      oncoming drivers, they suck in low visibility/fog situations... need
      I go on?

      The E code lights, on the other hand, put a nice even spread of light
      over the pavement, they appear to be a great deal brighter with the
      same wattage lamp, the cutoff is sharp and stays out of the eyes of
      an oncoming driver, high beam performance is unbeatable, and the low
      beams work great in fog...
