They work great. I'm running 74 Euro Porche RS lamps, lead cyst flat lens. They have a great spead pattern. I'm using the 55/60 watt bulbs. If your system can handle it go with the 80/90.

I got the mirror finish 7", I really liked the look of the try bar but I was putting them behind a phantom grill, so seen no need to spend x-tra $$$. Some are DOT approved already just call and ask. I love em. I just put on the phantom and dont know if legal in AZ either but I don't care, deal with that if it arises. Not as tough her though I know CALI is a motha. Good luck

nate68 I would go with the Try-bar they look awsome, and still keeps the nastalgic look. They are a hella lot brighter in comparison.
