    So in other words they are not “labeled” DOT or SAE Approved?

    Exactly

    Yup. From the manufacturers web page.
    “DOT Approved: Make no mistake, these will produce a much different [better] result than slapping some LED replacement bulbs into your stock housings. Their quad-projector optics meet & exceed all SAE, DOT, and FMVSS108 regulations when aimed properly...and that's easy to do with their integrated vertical/lateral adjusters.”

    Thanks for being a dick.

    “Designed to spec” and “stamped DOT/SAE approved” aren’t even close to the same thing.

    Again. Doesn’t answer the question.

    I fly airplanes for a living. There are parts in Autozone that would work JUST fine for certain repairs. However, they won’t fly (literally and figuratively) unless they have a FAA-PMA stamp.

    It’s a simple question. Can someone that physically possesses the lights tell me whether or not they have a stamp. If you don’t have them, I don’t care what you have to say.

    I bought it on a notion that it's cool, perform well, and backed with 5 year warranty.

    USPS lost my Depo headlights a while back, I had to return them and the company got one of the lights 10 months later, and never received the other. It doesn't make sense bc the lights were in one giant ass box. How did they lose one of the lights it still boggles my mind. And the whole time company was a pain in the ass acting like it was my fault, and I will never deal with them again. Had to file a credit card charge back to get my money a couple months after the lights were lost

    Sr5 checking in here. Soooo I just installed my lights and love em! At first everything seemed normal...

    now my DRLS SWITCH FROM WHITE TO AMBER DEPENDING ON THE STALK LOCATION

    OFF: white
    DRL:Amber
    Fog: amber
    Headlights: white

    update just noticed that if the ignition is on is does this...if I just have the key turned they stay white.


    What’s going on!?!?

    You said at first they worked normal. So was it working normally at first then changed, or it's been like this since you installed but you just noticed it?

    I thought it was cool too, but then I remember reading it’s bad to have ambers on all the time for some reason
