I live in central Indiana. Almost anything is street legal. Ha. But I'm not sure. They're only 35 watts so I'm ok there. They are wired into my high beams. (theyre all I drive with)The other pods on the bumper are lows. I've never been pulled over for them. And a lot of cops around here wheel and they've seen em on my jeep and never said anything. I doubt they're street legal anywhere with inspections or in any other state than Indiana really... Lol

There's no way these are bright enough, concentration of beam probably sucks, and you're most likely blinding everyone else on the road.

They aren't the junk pods that everybody else has... They are Def. bright enough and are pretty well concentrated. I've never had anyone bright me and they provide more than enough light for me.

This.

There is no way your cutoff is sharp and that light output is as good as proper headlights. I have 2 of those similar pods in my JCR front bumper and 2 lightbars and my headlights are brighter and more properly aimed than any individual one of the bars or pods.

The Rigid DOT Fogs (top) have a better cutoff than my headlights (bottom, + fogs). Headlights have slight better center distance.

I suppose I can look for a place tonight.

But as you can see, it's super clean cutoff.
