Swapping bulbs is the easiest mod I can think of. Unplug, remove rubber boot, unclip bulb and repeat

found a site that sells Phillips 5k H1 bulbs. It states that they do not follow DOT standards, it was from a overseas vendor but they do ship to the US. Any issues with installing these on the car besides inspection?

I'm planning to buy the
PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow 2500K H3 on ebay for my fog lights.
Where can I find the Polargs? Edit: never mind, found them.
