[QUOTE="IRONMAN, post: 860107, member: 13"] I don't believe they are "street legal" Would you get a ticket for driving with them on? Maybe. I'm sure it all depends on the police officer pulling you over. Personally I think if you aim it correctly and not blinding on coming traffic "MOST" cops won't bother you. I've been driving around town with some Rigid style lights as fog/driving lights and I've never been pulled over. I aimed them lower as not to blind anyone. [COLOR="Yellow"]What does SAE/DOT approved mean? Why it is so important? By law, all headlights and tail lights must be DOT approved to be legal for use on all roads and highways in all 50 states of United States. Head or tail lights without DOT approval are intend for off road use only, and are not legal for use on all US roads and highways. So all DOT approved headlights and tail lights will stamp the word “DOT” on the lights to show law officers that they are street legal and complied with the transportation law. DOT stands for Department of Transportation. It is the federal agency that set standards for car lightings. In order for head or tail light to be DOT approved, the product must meet strict regulations, standards, specifications and tests. It is to ensure the product is safe to use in public, serve its purposes and provide adequate illumination. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) is a world wide organization that sets automotive standards for the manufacturing, testing and design of car lightings. To be SAE approved, all headlights and tail lights must past certain standards, test procedures and material test; set by SAE to guide the quality of the product. Note: SAE approved headlights and tail lights are not street legal in US, until they are approved by DOT. In short, SAE guide the quality of the product, and DOT test the product to make sure it is fully complied with transportation law and approve for use in all US roads and highways.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
