Things We Should Do
We’ve all seen some guy driving towards you with his LED light bars going full blast or with his high beams on – don’t be that guy! If you’re driving on-road or off-road and you have people coming at you, no matter what, make positive that you aren’t causing a dangerous situation by blinding the driver of the other car barreling towards you. It’s for their safety and yours! Even whilst off-road and if another truck or jeep is coming at you, it’s common courtesy to turn your LED light bars off for 15 seconds when they pass.
In general, it’s illegal to have off-road only lights turned on whilst on the city road systems. However, and unfortunately, some states don’t explicitly have laws about this so it’s up to all of us to set the standard. Because every state has different rules, it’s up to you to acknowledge your very own state’s laws when it comes to auxiliary LED lights. For the 'Things we shouldn't do', it’s just a simple notion - Don’t be a jerk.

Things We Shouldn't Do
Onto the common set of things that are okay. Say you bought a set of street-legal, SAE/DOT approval LED lights just like our Revolutionary 46 Series 6 inches or 10 inches led light bars with auxiliary high beam (SAE J581 compliant) or fog beam (SAE J583 compliant). You need to use the SAE street-legal driving beams in conjunction with your high beams. This means that you can turn them on while on the road, however, if there’s an oncoming driver, you should be polite and flick them off. On the two sides of your vehicles, you could have street-legal fog beams. These are simply just the opposite and are supposed to be used in conjunction with your low beams.

Other regulations about SAE/DOT lights have to do with how many there are and where they’re mounted. Some states have laws about the number of auxiliary lights that you’re allowed to have on your vehicle, whether or not they’re street-legal or not. Many states also have laws about the mounting heights of the street-legal auxiliary lights that you’ll be using. One of the General regulations is that even if they’re street-legal, if they are mounted above the vehicle headlights, then it’s not okay. Therefore, it’s best to mount street-legal lights in line with or beneath your headlights.'>SAE/DOT lights have to do with how many there are and where they’re mounted.
