Must have someone without common sense in here. They are an offroad only light. If that doesn't give you an answer then I don't know what to tell you.

If you don't care about getting fix-it-tickets or paying fines then go right ahead and slap them in there and turn them on while driving around. You will just be that guy.

 

The duallys are brighter than hid headlights. All led pods and light bars must be covered when on highway in California, regardless of location or height relationship to factory headlights. The duallies in the fog light position will typically get a free pass because of the location. Using them on highway if aimed properly is doable but just be considerate and know that in Ca it could be ticket-able.
For everyone with cheap Chinese led's that don't have covers available the tickets are on the way. At least that's what the cop that wrote me two separate tickets for two separate led bars that were not covered. Covers were on floorboard on way back from desert, got a ticket anyway.

 

That's why I was asking, no need for the sarcasm

Thanks Tyler, perfect answer and exactly what I was looking for.

 

It's not a case of DOT, more CVC approval, more intensity and height in relation to headlights are a no go, lower to headlights and below 600Lumens are allowable non LED type light. And do not need to be covered.

the latest CVC
