But does it all the other requirements. If it doesn't (which it doesn't) it shouldn't be used.

The lights come on and go off as expected
They are brighter and more visible (hence safer) than stock
They do not overload the wiring system
They do not melt or distort the reflectors or the lenses

In other words they perform their function exactly as they were designed to do without any drawbacks. Exactly what requirements doesn't it meet?

As for the front assemblies, I have them wired to UK-spec and have not encountered any legal problems in almost 5 years. I do not have the parking lights connected. I run with headlights only and the only time you see amber lights is when the turn signals are flashing. This is the way it is in the UK and it seems safer to me (When signaling a turn, BRIGHT-off-BRIGHT-off gets more attention than BRIGHT-dim-BRIGHT-dim). They mimic how our rear turn sigmals operate.

Wow. You'r pretty paranoid. Perhaps you should never start your car since 75% of engine wear occurs at start up. You should invest in one of those pre-oilers. Also, never floor it. Ever. That decreases engine life.

First of all I'm not paranoid. Secondly the stock wiring is barely enough for the stock bulbs. Finally, your turn signal setup is safer svxcess, but it's not legal in the US.

I think I see that the people here obviously don't care about lighting. Oh well, I'm done trying to help .
