OK, you got me. I should've clarified: REAL E code stuff from the major  
lighting manufacturers usually isn't marketed here. And when I mean REAL E code,  
I mean headlight assemblies in their entirety. The DOT has a hissy about that. 
 Now, there ARE lights that carry the DOT stamp as well as the E code stamp, 
but  they really aren't quite the same thing. I got a set of Cibie headlights 
from  someone in our sales office in Germany that did NOT have the DOT stamp, 
and BOY,  what a difference compared to what we usually get here! At least 
back in the  early 80s anyway.

If it's GE, it ain't E code!!


okay, I  screwed up on not getting the subject line changed, but as for the 
GE &  E-code thing, I'll leave you to argue with GE -- leave me out of it.   
Somehow I assume they know what their product is and that they probably aren't  
misleading anyone -- if they are, sue them, not me!

1. What does E-mark mean? 
Lamps conform to European legal regulations. GE lamps have E1 mark -  
approved in Germany. Lamps without the E-approval are prohibited for use on  roads 
within Europe. Make sure that you use always quality products. GE is a  supplier 
also of  largest car manufacturers all over the world.
And maybe the lights I refered to weren't X-anything (remember the  ?)?  
Maybe they were Megalight Plus --

maybe not ...  they came on when I turned the switch, and that was  a big 
imporvement over the bulbs they replaced (I'd just bought the  car).
