Not so. Replaceable bulbs are legal and, Euro beam patterns are legal and OK'd by NHTSA.

Both.
While some euro lights may make beam patterns which the DOT approves, and VOL spec US lights are very similar, the US does not recognize ECE lighting standards.

If lighting standards were harmonized across the globe US cars today would not get different lights, but that is still the case.
