You`ll also need to turn off your fog lights when you encounter traffic. The factory headlights of newer vehicles are the same, if not brighter. Should drive with mine, tilted down in the bumper as always. Pass many law enforcement agencies hassle-free. 🤷🏾 ♂️😅 The short answer to this question is no. Due to their brightness, it is illegal to drive on the road with the LED light bar on. In fact, in most States, it is not enough to omit them. An LED illuminated cover must be used when the vehicle is travelling on the highway. These covers ensure that the lights do not create distraction for oncoming drivers, even if they are accidentally turned on while driving. I think it is stupid to have such partial laws. What about all the new vehicles made by major automakers with “normal” LED and “laser” headlights that are TWICE as bright as they should be????????? So it`s okay to buy a new car and dazzle everyone on the road as long as it`s a factory light? Absolutely stupid double standards.

Other rules for SAE/ECE luminaires relate to the number of luminaires and where they are mounted. Some states have rules about how many auxiliary lights you`re allowed to have on your vehicle that are forward-facing, whether or not they`re road-legal. Many states also have rules about mounting heights for the legal auxiliary lights you`ll use. A general rule of thumb for these is that even if they are street legal but mounted above your headlights, it`s not right. Therefore, it is best to mount legal street lights in alignment or under your headlights.
