Since these lights are sold as driving lamp kit; does any body know if they are ok for use in California,.

i live in CA and have had 4 of these mounted on my subaru impreza for about a year now. all my research has suggested that they are ok for use off road but considering they are very bright i wouldnt use them while driving on the freeway or heavy traffic areas.

If the lights were designed to be powered by D.C.(your car battery) it will work. However if your lights do not have a car cigarette lighter male connector you may have to made adjustment such as cutting off female connector to adaptor and splicing your light wiring into the AC to DC connector. This may be more work than you want to tackle. Of course if your lights have the cigarette lighter connector mentioned above, everything should work out fine.

I would certainly be cautious when not using these lights as recommended by the manufacturer, i.e dimming them when they are not designed for this type of usage.

They are SAE approved, if that's what you are asking. (I used them as my daytime running lights because of the wide horizontal spread for visibility and good vertical cut off so no chance of dazzling anyone).

The problem would be to convert the power supply to match the voltage requirements of the LED bulbs. The battery pack puts out a 7.1 to 8 volt max. It would be very easy to fry these if you don't have the proper power source.

If you don't see on YouTube maybe this site can help vled.com they sell high ends led with full detail and description on products, keep in mind I had few try many quality led for my daytime driving light it's won't last due to hot weather in summer I am in California and even the led description as it has heat sink protection but still won't last long and that's from my experience maybe work better for you but those are not cheap led you can pay for hid it's can be even cheaper cost but brighter

As long as you get the right bulb size they well. Double check what size bulb your lights take. This kit is a plug & play meaning all you have to do is plug them in. Make sure you find a spot to mount the ballast

If your headlights are H7 bulbs then yes. Usually for Semi trucks they recommend the "LL" or long life bulbs because of vibration issues associated with big trucks but the Nighthawk series bulbs are similar in their construction. All GE headlight bulbs sold in the US are DOT approved for highway use, unless otherwise stated on their packaging.

Yes, same as Malibu or automotive lamps and must be 12 volts for proper lighting. Will work at slightly less than 12 volts, but would not recommend. Last for ever in out door lighting.

I have been reading a lot about HID light, the best I can say is that this is why some states will not let you use HID light that did not come from the MFG. Check with your state laws before buying , Also check to see if you have to disconnect your day Light run lights if you have them . In some cases you have to cut wires from you on board computer. Read all instructions even the fine print. before you buy. Check internet for other ans. I returned 2 sets. Good luck..

The lamps are not specifically rated for outdoor use, but I have 2 of them in the ceiling outside my front door and don't expect any problems there. My opinion is that they will be fine as long as they are not getting rain-drenched. I plan to put them in my exterior flood fixtures that are kind of funnel shaped and the bulbs fit well inside them.

I don't see why not. However, we live in Southern California and get little rain. So far, these lights work well. Also, they are brighter than expected. For us, that's good.

I live in Connecticut and every single night I go to work I drive pass the police and never been pulled over for my lights so I would say they are legal but I can't be sure of the requiment where u live. Plus thus lights are not blinding at all, they are brighter than the stock light but soft to the eyes at night.

Yes you can use them for off-road but generally four on you roll use I has to comply with DOT standards and if they're too bright and cause safety issues may not be DOT approved so usually a off-roadoff-road lights will be brighter than these, I would look around a little more good luck

yes, but we have found these lights to be pretty unreliable...the power supplies fail frequently. We probably change out either the LED module or power supply driver every 6-8 months. When they work they look great.

Yes they are legal in all 50 states depending on the color you get S5.8, Replacement Equipment, of FMVSS No. 108 states that all replacement bulbs are approved as long as the wiring of the vehicle is not changed, ex. I run 6000K on a lifted 2000 Silverado truck with chrome reflection in the housing that is legal because it was an addition of wiring not a full redesign of wiring to allow the lights to operate. The only problem you might have is people pulling their high beams on you. The only other thing that might get you depending on where you live is you can only have 4 forward facing lights on at a time while driving in traffic. Hope this helps

i cant see why not,they should draw way less amps than your old lights.I used to work as a mechanic,although i no longer do,they should work great for you
