    It is not legal, no matter what is claimed.

    These idiots putting them into their lights are really trying to cause an accident.

    I noticed some time back the new way to tell the person who just passed you was to flash the high beams instead of turning the lights off for a half second, probably because they have them running lights on all the time now. I stopped all signaling after seeing that, because watching in that mirror only to get blinded for a few seconds was making it harder, then someone told me to look away from them bright lights which really does not work well because the light still enters your eyes and after a while the burning starts.

    Some guy in an older Suburban was behind me today in my PC. #### blue lights hurt my eyes in the daytime. I hope cops start giving tickets.

    I'm getting one of those 1,000,000 candlewatt power spotlights that plugs into the lighter socket for these morons. I'm over it. You blind me? I blind you back. These light bars they're all adding too. Idiots!

    I had an arguement on FB with some truck owner about the legality of these aftermarket lights, the clown said that the bulbs he put into his truck were legal because they were designed to go into old light units and I told him no they are not. I eventually copied the warning from the makers website that says it is only for off road use.

    My past codriver would blind people with his high beams trying to tell them it's OK to get back over after passing. I just blink my low beams.

    The light knob is down by my left knee. Thats the problem. Reaching down like that. They need the light buttons on the steering wheel.
