I got nailed running my old 4Runner (Mike's) thru state inspection with Hella E-Codes several years ago. The guy noticed the lense pattern, said they didnt say DOT on them, and failed me. I drove home, swapped the sealed beams back in, and got reinspected. Of course the Hellas went right back in when I returned home. That was the only trouble I had with them - I never had an oncoming policeman pull me over... I run 55/100W bulbs, so they are virtually indistinguishable from the sealed beams in low beam mode. But the high beams kick major butt! Always fun to "light somebody up" when they cut me off - especially with the 4Runner sitting so high up.
It isn't hard to swap the headlights on a mk2, so run the E-Codes until its time for DMV inspection.
