I have actually been dealing with a Canadian company that sells the euro
lights for many different cars and they told me that although the government
had been getting strict about the non-DOT approved lights, that lately there
has been a trend to actually legalize the euro lights in states like Montana,
and a few other northern states where they have alot of adverse weather and
can use all the light they can get out of their head lights.

To me it is a balance between creating a driving hazard because your
euro-lights blind on-coming traffic, or creating a driving hazard because the
DOT lights are so dim you can't see where you are going.

Thanks,
