To answer the original question simply, E numbers marked on various automotive components especially glass, lamps, bulbs show that they meet certain European Community specifications.

Some lights also have DOT marks, not sure if that means Department of Transport (UK) or Transportation (US)

The difference with lighting is that US federal specs are different, which is why many European cars originally sold in the US have to be fitted with such ugly, dim headlights.

Not sure how you stand legally if you change things.
