How do you make a JDM S13 fixed headlight DOT approved?

Hey guys. Just got my JDM S13 K Silvia from the port and have to have inspected.

New regulations for Canada say I need to have DOT approved headlights to pass inspection.

Anyone know of any company that makes DOT replacements for the fixed headlight S13's or what i can do to pass inspection for this?

Thanks!

Matt

if its pre 91 in canada it shouldnt matter. the reason ive read that they dont pass inspection is Height requirements atleast here in the states the lights are not high enogh off the gound. also the cut off in the JDM lights are on the wrong side for driving on the right side of the road they produce more light towards the center of the road then they to the outside edge. i beleive the projectors can be swapped from one housing to the other to fix this problem how ever i havent gotten around to looking at it on mine.
