Not E marked thus Ilegal to use in Europe. DOT markings is a US thing which means nothings over here. Also im sure ive seen that Hi / Low beam pic some where else on the internet.

All the pictures on cars are actual JW speaker lights, and recognise the grey 110 from on here.
Better to pay and get a proper make  |

Where do I start?
Heard the expression too good to be true etc? Those lights are ILLEGAL to use in Europe. DOT is a USA approval mark and DOT light beam pattern is completely wrong for Europe approval! Please note that the advert is claiming that
Now this is beyond my knowledge base but I am not sure what that actually means. Even IF the the individual LEDs were DOT approved it is irrelevant as the complete headlight has to be type approved. So could I say smoke and mirrors?? Waterproof? Yes I have thrown them in a bucket of water! Where is the IP rating (Ingress Protection) ?? The IP test is carried out under specific test conditions and not just placed in a bucket of water. The minimum IP rating for a headlight should be IP 67, IP68 is better but the highest IP rating is IP69K. Of the reputable brands in the UK to my knowledge only Truck-Lite and Nolden meet IP69K These lights are for Defenders and need antiflicker harnesses? Sorry but that is NOT an issue with Defenders so not needed. That is an issue with certain Jeep models! What does that advert say about the seller? Stop typing Brendan! We are offered these sort of lights on more or less a daily basis and to say they are cheap to buy is an understatement. We can not even buy a pair of reputable branded headlights at trade for that sort of price! With regard to eBay the expression BUYERS BEWARE should be stamped across each advert! We see adverts on eBay which are items which have obviously been stolen, are cheap copies of reputable brands, trade off reputable brands, are extremely misleading etc etc. It is up to you where you spend your money, however I would suggest it would be wise to spend it on a reputable brand from a reputable supplier.
