Ken, Euro lights DO NOT blind on coming traffic - this is the whole design idea behind them. I drive with 80/100W H4s all the time and NO ONE flashes me. Try putting 80/100W lamps in your 9004 spec lights and see what the oncoming traffic does! It's a good thing that some of the northern states are waking up to better technology. E-code lights have been legal in Canada for many years!
