is this a street legal light or it will blind drivers when mounted on front bumper ?

I use them as daytime running lights mounted in the grille of my F250. Perfect for the day but turn them off at night unless I'm on a deserted road.

It is not street legal, nor is there much point in using them at all on streets because they cast a short, broad beam that won't illuminate anything at all in time to react to it. In other words it is more of a floodlight than a spot light.

They are illegal to operate on any road in the US (State and Federal law) or any European nation. It will blind other drivers. They do not meet SAE, ECE, or DOT safety regulations nor are they marked as such. Do not use them in any capacity other than as work lights, they are not bright enough or have a good pattern for high or low beams and would be a waste. I use them to optionally illuminate as I back up and they do not come on automatically. Only use them manually.

I drive country roads 80% of the time and I just turn them off when I see car headlights. I also drove past a cop with them on, these headlights lot up his face and I saw him perfectly. I never got pulled over.

Yes its just done using your stock headlight wires to power them but in most states it is illegal for on road use to have them on with high beams.

First the good news. If you drive an SUV, pickup truck or any other type vehicle on which fog lights are preinstalled or you've added them on yourself, there is no federal law prohibiting their placement on the vehicle. Second, there isn't any bad news. It's more no news at all, really. That's because there is no record in the United States, except California, where motor vehicle laws specifically address the use of front fog lights. And even in California it was debatable because of conflicting interpretations of laws, until they were clarified in 1996. With that being said, I'd just be courteous of other drivers, just be a decent human being. First the good news.

Its not for the bulb. It's some cheesy sticker you can put on a binder. I wouldn't even dare call it a bumper sticker lol.

This one is for the right side. It's kinda buried in the description. (This one does not have the clear panel on the bottom for illuminating the license plate. I think that this one does: Wesbar 403026 Waterproof Over 80" Low Profile Trailer Light )

It depends on your country, state, and county. It will depend on your headlight temperature, and brightness. The whiter the light, the richer the yellow. So keep that in mind. Ultimately you need to find out if yellow lights are street legal in your area. Keep your eyes open too, you might see other people driving around with the same colored headlights, but that doesn't mean it's street legal.

It's bright, but not blinding. Just enough to let you know it's on. I have mine mounted in my jeep for my auxiliary lights. They are perfect.

The only reason for that description that I can think of is that this light is not street legal, in the US, with the exception of motorcycles. Maybe They just don't want to say that. Look up Daniel Stern Lighting.

No. Use it only as a supplemental light. Spend a little more money and get a light with high lumens. It'll make you more visible to cars and you'll see better. Ride Safe!

They are 60/55w which is the standard for all street legal headlights in the USA. So yes and yes.

No. To mount auxiliary lights you will need to buy a set of Light Mounting Brackets for tube bumpers.

Are you talking about like driving lights that are mounted in the bumper? If so, I would imagine so. I mounted mine on a light bar.

I have them on my 66 impala and they are regular lights,but I wanted to use HIDs and that was the only way to do it,Another words they are legal and they look really nice at night

Michael, as my jeep is a 2011, I cannot answer this question. I am not sure if they changed the front bumper or not. Like I said in my review, this light bar is probably best used for show, not for true off-roading. Best of luck...

David, I would mount the lights on the bumper, as far back as possible, and then add a nerf bar to protect those expensive lights. Good Luck, Jack

Yes. From Truck Lite's website: "When properly mounted, the lamp is designed to conform to the requirements listed in the Department of Transportation (DOT), FMVSS-108 and Transport Canada (TC), CMVSS-108. Headlamps marked with the DOT symbol signifies the lamps are street legal."

they are bright enough to blind oncoming traffic, a lot would depend on how you have them aimed. i installed mine in a winch bumper, it is hard to tell if it the lights themselves or if it is the bumper causing issues with the light pattern, but I am unimpressed with these lights. I purchased a set of 5 inch KC fogs for the other mounts in the bumper and they work very nicely.
