I've got em on all the time. I take them off at night because its like driving with one low-beam headlight, even if you brights are on. They do snap on and off. Cops just wave at me so i guess they are not illegal or anything.

I had them on my 02 and they were sweet but I took them off to drive at night and the constant on off on off caused them to snap after ab 6 months. So yeah Id recommend them Im not sure anywhere else but in VA you CAN NOT have them on at night, but any other time is good. I drove home some nights w them it does reduce visibility a lot tho. But they looked awesome.

It probably depends on which state you live in. I know for a fact a friend of mine got a ticket in Florida for driving with them on in the daytime.

they make some carbon fiber blackouts that let alot more light through. I used to have a set on my Ranger and they worked fine. I did read somewhere though, that you can increase your headlamp wattage so the headlights are brighter on lowbeam.
