    No problem at all. Hardwire it into your inverter and done. I ran these as headlights on my 1st Gen Runner. Worked mint and never got a ticket.

    Street lights are different from traffic signal lights

    Headlights can trip a photo eye and thereby turning them off, so technically yes to your exact question as phrased


    But newer eyes have a delay to avoid that from happening.
