Those particular ones on Amazon might not be legal, but GE does sell an LED equivalent that is DOT legal, has the aiming standoffs, and so on - but at $250, not an upgrade I'm doing soon (especially since most of my Westy driving is in daylight - night-time I should be in a campground).  Here's a link:
