The only thing I could drag out of the Hella rep was that DOT is legal and ECE isn't..... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> Re: E-code headlamps [Re: VanillaTHUNDA] #780849 01/17/07 08:33 AM Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 12,153 N. California. USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler E-code has a better, more even beam pattern. You can get DOT housings with sharp low beam cutoffs, like the Hella Vision Plus. More info on the Daniel Stern site: - http://www.4crawler.com/4x4/CheapTricks/Headlights.shtml#MoreInfo I used to run a set of non-DOT Hellas (not sure if they were e-code or not) back in the '80s and now run a set of DOT Hellas and they seem to be very similar. One thing to watch for w/ e-code lamps is to not get any made for use in countries that drive on the other side of the road, they won't work in the US.
