They still are, the cars that come in like your accord with separate
bulbs come in with an exception on a model by model basis. Sort of
a rubber stamp but the non sealed beams are still illegal for the
LBC's
I have never heard anyone being busted for that.
Regarding the output load of the alternator. A good size (amperage)
battery will buffer the load on the alternator. A better solution
is replace the alternator. I have a Lucas Alternator rebuilt by
Bosch which has never given me any trouble, and supplied more than
adequate load for the car.
