Are pods in headlight housing legal

I've seen trucks replace their headlights by inserting pods in the housing
Is this legal for on road use

 

no

 

I was wondering because this was one of the stakked trucks and they had them too

 

Where has common sense gone?

No offense OP, but do you think that 3000+ lumen LED pods are legal to use on the road as headlights?

 

I really didn't think they were but I keep seeing these more and more often and wanted to make sure

 

I heard Rigid Industries recently came out with DOT approved lights... maybe thats what is mounted in the headlight housing??....

I saw it the other day, the lights have a cutoff similar to projector headlights

 

I still wouldn't run them. Why have an LED pod when you can get projectors and LED bulbs or HIDs? The pods just don't look like they belong there lol

 

I would think its Illegal... because the light output is either O or o (Flood vs Spot). Low Beams have a cut off pattern so your not blinding the other drive.

 

Thats fine.. I am just saying that might be what those trucks have mounted.

 

I'll just leave this here...

This. Even with a full retro, some states can still give you tickets for modifying stock headlights.

 

I have always wanted to mod my DTRL with a cube 40w flood

 

Damn didn't know so many people didn't like the idea of pods in head lights. That Tacoma is actually my truck and I built those headlights when I was living in Oklahoma lol and Tulsa police never had an issue with them. I actually got complimented by cops when they pulled up next to me at gas stations . I actually have them aimed downward , I know they don't have a cut off point but the way they are mounted with the angle , they don't blind anyone

 

Ole rebel how hard was it?

 

it was pretty easy. Just opened up my headlights and made my own brackets lol

 

OleRebel, was/is the light greatly or just barely diminished with having smoked lenses?
