Those particular ones on Amazon might not be legal, but GE does sell an LED equivalent that is DOT legal, has the aiming standoffs, and so on - but at $250, not an upgrade I'm doing soon (especially since most of my Westy driving is in daylight - night-time I should be in a campground).

I don’t see a DOT stamp on their front, not the 3 aiming standoffs.

I REALLY like the idea of LED headlights, but at $170 each for 7” rounds to replace my QI lights, they’re going to be pretty far down the list of improvements.
