On question is that not illegal?
He's response was no but they have to operate indepndently from the High Beam. But they must be covered in daytime.
But my question was- what is going to happen if you cause an accident by blinding the next guy coming from the front?
I am still waiting for an answer.
I think that is why there is such a law- for the safety of other drivers. I will understand if it is a hunting vehicle for night hunts perhaps but other than that- I do not think it is a good thing though.
I have also seen with these lights above bonnet you get so much light spread into the cabin it makes it difficult to see the road yourself.
