Hi Dale,

They did say DOT on the box. I do not know if they said that they meet FCC Part 15 though. I got them from eBay. They are definitely Chinese, they were not a known brand. Of course, getting something from eBay does not guarantee legitimacy. (There is concern that these gangs that are stealing stuff from drugstore shelves are selling the stuff on eBay.) The real counterfeit stuff is on Ali Baba. (Don't buy a Shure SM58 Mic from them; they are fake.)

However, I will determine if they are emitting interference outside the car by trying a portable radio in front of the car to determine if the lights radiate the interference.
"Do Justly, love Mercy and walk humbly with your God"- Micah 6:8

Best Regards,
