why not?
some would say that the euro beam pattern (E code) is better because it focuses more light on the road. DOT requires something like 20% of the light go upward to illuminate overhead signage. this is of course a huge rabbit hole....

honestly, i'm pretty happy with some 70W H7 low beam bulbs in my stock housings.

Got the front end all reassembled but not painted yet.
Did an oil change and Blackstone has flagged an increase in coolant in the oil this sample.
Any thoughts or ideas?
