Will these blind oncoming traffic or can I leave them on at all times while on or off road?

They're pretty bright, cars will probably be flashing their brights at you like they do me.

It all depends where you mount them. If they are on the bumper, they will be fine as long as they're angled properly. If they are mounted up by the windshield, they will blind oncoming traffic. I don't know about the states in your law, but in NY, any auxiliary lighting mounted above the headlights is for off road use only.

I left them on all the time, I wired it into the factory fog light wires, so they were controlled by the factory switch

As long as they're pointed slightly down you'll be all set. They're very bright if you stare right at or if they're angled up at traffic, but as long as they're down slightly you'll be good.

The slim lites I bought were the fog style and I have no problem with on coming traffic. The driving lights should be ok as well. The long range lights are a problem, but I have mounted up high on my jeep. The fogs and driving lights are on the front of my F-250 and I have no problem. mike

I have them on my frontier. They are very bright at night. I replaced the stock fog lights with these and they are blinding in comparison. In the day you can clearly see they are on.

They will function as DRLS as usual, then when you turn on your lights the fog lights stay on. The DRLS will always be on, I hope this better abates your question

Check your local ordinances but I it is highly unlikely that they would be legal for on road use. More importantly, they would be awful fog/driving lights.

As long as they are angled down so they don't blind on coming cars or the car in front of you.

They are not labeled or advertised as such,but I would say they would be if aimed and located properly on your vehicle. I can tell you they are very bright! If aimed to high they would blind oncoming traffic.

I use them on my Nissan Murano and I love them. It has made such a difference when I drive! I have no more blind spots!

No, these are not SAE compliant, and for good reason... they will blind people. Real fog lights are supposed to be used with low beams as supplemental light to the low beams. Driving lights provide supplemental light to high beams, but cannot legally be used with low beams. These are bright lights with a poorly defined beam pattern, so you can only use them with high beams, but they are not great for that.

I honestly can't help much: I installed them, and drove the RAV with them in place to aim them, but never in adverse conditions. They do what fog-lights should do - illuminate the road from a low angle and have a wide pattern that catches the road margins and surface.

They should be very good for either. I have used mine mostly outdoors, when the light is low.

When you stop moving they shut off. If you screw them on too tight, they will not light so just loosen a bit. There is no on/off switch needed.

Don't know about your specific make/model, but you should definitely remove when driving at highway speeds. For a low speed local trip, its probably ok to keep it on.

I don't know why anyone would want to turn them off....it warn you how far you are. Green means no problem, yellow is close, red is like 1 or 2 inches away. I use it to line up my trailer hitch and I found it extremely useful.

I just checked the glasses to see if they reduce glare from oncoming headlights. The quick answer is that they do not, except insofar as they reduce light transmission by being yellow. Reduced light transmission at night is a bad thing if you're on a dark road, so I recommend you do not wear these at night. Instead, if you're having trouble with glare from oncoming headlights, consult an optician or opthalmologist to find out what options they know about to reduce glare.

I don't see why not. They are a very bright white light which will definitely help you see at night. And since they are adjustable you won't blind incoming driver. It really depends on your state law on accessory lights.I currently have them under my rear bumper on my Avalanche as reverse light. They are wired to automatically turn on in reverse and I have and overide switch to turn them on at will for the tailgating driver.

Yes you can use them for off-road but generally four on you roll use I has to comply with DOT standards and if they're too bright and cause safety issues may not be DOT approved so usually a off-roadoff-road lights will be brighter than these, I would look around a little more good luck

I can't see well enough at night to drive safely anymore. Last night I HAD to drive home in the dark both on highway and dark, winding roads. These were a godsend, and made it home safely. They reduced the oncoming lights' glare and brightened the roads.
