Is it illegal? Absolutely.
Do the cops do anything about it? Absolutely not.
Meanwhile I'm getting blinded by lifted trucks with overhead lights and a LED light bars on the grills
I drive a small car, I absolutely hate it when pavement princesses come up from behind and blind me. In general I want to give the cops as little reason to issue tickets as possible. Retroreflectors are why we can see signs from a distance when it's pitch black, so it's a good option that doesn't technically break any laws even if the law is basically completely unenforced
My two cars are a Miata and a Jeep. You better believe when I got the Jeep lifted I was extra careful about making sure the lights were aimed properly. That plus making sure I never follow too closely and hopefully I’m not doing the same thing to other people that everyone does to me in the Miata.
You know you're doing it right.
Gawd I love a Miata. What year is yours?
A 2011 NC, the prht. I love that damn car.
I am envious. Beaut.
Yeah cops don't even pull people over with unaimed blue HIDs in halogen housings even though they can be spotted from miles away. The dispatcher also just wouldn't believe you if you reported someone for having a James Bond gadget on their car.
Can confirm. Inspired by this comic, I installed such a light bar in my car. Of course the very first tailgater I used it on so happened to be a cop. He just laughed when I explained why I did what I did, and then told me to never use it again. That was it. No ticket, didn't force me to disable it in front of him. I just promised him "never again" and was sent on my way.
