However, I haven't used my high beam for extended periods, so it hasn't been pushed to the extreme yet. It costs about 10 times as much as your posted deal.

I would be interested to hear if the bulbs you receive are actually 9003 with the DOT marking.
About five years ago I ordered ten, Eiko 01009, H4 bulbs for about the same price. I now own three motorcycles which use H4 headlight bulbs, and I am finally down to my last bulb. The Eiko 01009 bulbs have the H4 stamp on them.

I was going to order the Eiko 01009 bulbs again, but the price has almost doubled for them. Therefore, I ordered these bulbs. As long as they illuminate the road well, I don't care if they have the DOT stamp.

After the bulbs arrive, I will report how well they work, and if they have DOT approval.
