Just because a light is halogen, doesn't mean that it is an e-code
light!  

The sealed beam POS lights that were in my
Diahatsu Hijet when I purchased it were DOT lights [needed to pass
inspection during import process] and they had the word halogen on them -
they made a very satisfying noise when I threw them into a metal dust bin
as even they couldn't see where they were going.  Now I have some H4
lights that are e-code and DOT approved.  Literal night and day
difference.
