I find it humorous there's so much concern about legality of add-on lights.
Whenever I visit my family in D.C. I'm amazed at how many modified pickups, jeeps and SUV there are driving around, bristling with off-road LED lights. I see more in Virginia than I do here in the North country of Michigan. Of course, the ones in Virginia all look like driveway queens, not a spec of mud in the mud tires or anywhere else.
I don't know how all those modded trucks pass inspection in the District, here in Michigan we thankfully don't have to deal with any of that "make work" type government nonsense.
I like my dual color light bar. I use the amber mode when driving during the daylight in fog, rain or heavy snow. Unless its really coming down, I don't use it at night.
I use the blinding white mode exclusively off of the public roadway. It's especially fun crawling down a narrow two-track in the dark with a close tree-canopy forming like a tunnel.
At least you display some common sense, how refreshing. I was driving on a cross 2 lane (east to west) the other night and an oncoming jeep (lifted of course) had all his LED's on. It was so bad I could not even see the road until I lit him up with the Day Lighters and then he turned them off. Amazing how giving idiots a suntan works. Only time I use them except if I'm driving on a deserted road at night. At 160 watts each, kind of hard on the batteries, even with a relay. I keep them aimed up just a tad for the ocassion.
