New to aftermarket lighting. Street legallity question

[Amcole1984]

So, as far as the lights that you can attach to the hood next to the mirrors, which of them would be street legal? I can't find any documents listing what is street legal and what is not.

None are...they are offroad only, like lightbars

That's what I was afraid of.

I've found a lot of people flashing me when I use my SAE Squadron Baja Designs Fogs in the bumper...they're pointed below the headlights like they're supposed to be...other people have way more obnoxious lights.

None of them. Pillar lights are too high up and the DOT/SAE have requirements about the maximum height on forward facing lights. You ever wonder why semi trucks have their lights installed low? That's why. So pillar lights are illegal.

Even if you went with SAE rated lights, that's for FOG use or DRIVING use down low. Up high you are throwing light at too high of an angle.

Your angle isn't correct then. I run Squadron Pros in WC on my Raptor. I've never had anybody flash me and those have a wider spread and higher up/down spread as well.

You need to adjust your fogs so they are not only below your low beams, but aimed at the ground, where fogs need to go.

I mean, it’s not constantly getting that reaction. We also live in a hilly area. But, I’ll take a closer look. I’ve gotta pull that faulty S2 to send to you anyhow. I think I saw one day that’s above 30 this week

Depends on the sate you live in.
I've seen anything above the headlight centerline is illegal, unless they are covered.
