That's not an issue here with LED bulbs. It IS an issue to run the driving lights, or led light bars on the street. Those aren't street legal. I actually got pulled over when I was younger for turning the off road lights on in my mom's discovery when I was driving down the road. No tickets, just a warning. Mind you that was about 15 years ago now. :lol:

I want them for the look, not necessarily the function. I'm vain like that sometimes. :lol:

I’ve always wondered if the opaque covers are a legal requirement when driving a car with these lights on the street.
