That brush bar is a work of art.....
Are those amber lights ( Light Force) legal for road use?
 
in Canada, as far as i know, as long as the lights are level or below the head lights and aimed properly then you can run them. light force is DOT stamped.
it is illegal to run lights facing forward above the head lights ... but seldom do any charges get laid. if you are an idiot and run your roof mounted off road lights on while driving down the road ... you deserve the hassle.

These good ole boys down here could negate the spirit of that law by jacking up their F-350's to the point where it takes a step latter to get in it.:)
The lights are so high up in the air you think it is a UFO coming down the road.
 
here we have a head light height law. the center of the head lights can only be (if i remember correctly) 36" off the ground.
it makes sense, when on the road ways you have to be considerate of other drivers. off road, then 'light up your world'

I have been hearing CVSE does not like the truckers who run them. If black covers are not on at the weigh scale you can get fined. Which is stupid because if you had a brain you would only turn them on if there was no oncoming traffic on the highway.
 
the 20" driving light is being wired in with the high beams only. low bean, no driving light.
the fogs are independent since there are time when you want the head lights off and just the fogs on.
