Shortbus,

Actually, the cop was correct in saying they are illegal for road use. Anything over 55W is illegal and "DOT approved" is actually a scam. There is no such thing as DOT approved since DOT does not rate bulbs. I read an article on this a while back, but can't find it now. Even though I have used 80/100W bulbs on the street and strongly believe that they're not any worse than the HID lights the expensive cars have, I still have to agree with the cop and say that they're intended for "off-road use only" (on record anyway).
