That second HELLA 100/80W bulb says "offroad use". Is that street legal?

I run those. But then again, I live in a free state.

I was glad freegdr could shed some light on how the harness works.

I got the heavy-duty harness from LMC Truck, which is probably basically the same as the Putco. By far one of the best upgrades for the price. Coupled with my Autopals, the difference is night & day.

Exactly the same as my experience.

So I'm either going with the Hella 100/80 or 130/90 H4 bulb. I was wondering how nice the AutoPal housings are. I have them now and am not sure if they're the best choice or not, since some complain about them casting shadows with Xenon bulbs, which appears to be happening with my HID bulbs.

This is what I bought.

Alright. That's what I was originally looking at. Think they'll be fine in my AutoPals?

The 100/80s are fine in my Autopal e-codes.
