When I got my euro-built '97, I found that the rules had just been updated in '96 or so to allow owners to import and use euro headlights, but manufacturers still couldn't sell cars with them installed. (They did still require lower-wattage bulbs than used in europe -- 80W high and ~50W low, IIRC -- but were *vastly* better than the DOT version.) -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
