I was looking at getting the JDM rear lights for my car, and I dont think those are Illegal.. I read the info about how the projectors aren't DOT approved, but what exactly makes them illegal in the US and Canada? They look so awesome and damn I'd pay the money to get them! Anyone know>?

The lights can be adjusted so that they point to the right more and don't blind oncoming drivers. They were also available in countries that drive on the right, like in the US, so they're made to be adjustable.  They're illegal simply because they don't have the DOT approval, since they were never available in North America. I don't think you'd run into any troubles with them aimed correctly. I'd imagine most cops would never know, and those who do know that they're JDM parts are obviously interested in sixth generation Celicas and would probably be impressed.
