If you do this to your truck then your no better than the Mexicans that add gaudy shit to their rides

You're not allowed to turn them on on public roads you fucking retard.

>You're not allowed to turn them on on public roads you fucking retard.
Oh my bad, and you're not allowed to murder people too.

Fight me

What if; people actually only use them at night?
Do people run these on their low-beam currents or something where you are at?

They're made for off-road only, just like every other flood and spot light that people put on their trucks. They're not only illegal to use on public roads, on those roads it's also illegal if they don't have covers on them to prevent use on said roads.

Adding lights or bars is perfectly acceptable if they are used properly. Either you don't know the laws and think everything should be illegal because of ignorance, or you've had bad experiences with douchebag truck owners.

Blame the douchebag owners who improperly use their equipment, not the equipment itself which has legitimate functionality.

>What if; people actually only use them at night?
yes and blind other drivers as I've said.
>Do people run these on their low-beam currents or something where you are at?
yeah brotruckers do it all over the country friend, more lights=more hp i guess.

>They're made for off-road only, just like every other flood and spot light that people put on their trucks. They're not only illegal to use on public roads, on those roads it's also illegal if they don't have covers on them to prevent use on said roads.
>see cop
>turn them off
>endanger opposing traffic and never face the consequences.

they need to be illegal to even be on the vehicle period.

>muh muh offroad!

then don't put them on until you're offroad.

>Blame the douchebag owners who improperly use their equipment,
I do. Since most of you lightbar cunts are bro truckers i guess there's a real problem then huh?

>t. lightbar owners

The law says only factory lights are to be used on roads, your reasoning is to then have anything aftermarket that can be used as a light source made illegal.

You then enforce your point when someone says it's illegal to use them on roads by saying murder is also illegal. By your prior logic on banning aftermarket lights, you're saying anything capable of murder should be banned: knives, hammers, vehicles, gasoline, etc.

You're arguments and logic on how to enforce laws makes no sense. Should we ban vehicles to prevent the breaking of the speed limit laws?

>REMOVING lights and installing them on location
I get that you're severely asspained but maybe take some Tylenol before more shit spills out of your mouth.

>on those roads it's also illegal if they don't have covers on them to prevent use on said roads.

Depends on country and state or province. You sound like an autist. Autists should be blinded by direct application of aircraft landing lights to their (delidded) eyes then disembowelled on a fire ant nest.

Seriously, take some tylenol.

He's just a troll. When I encounter such people I do what I can to make their worthless lives even less pleasant.

>You then enforce your point when someone says it's illegal to use them on roads by saying murder is also illegal.
My point was that clowns won't follow a law if they think they can get away with it.

I'll source drunk driving and texting while driving as more examples.
Even having a lightbar on your vehicle should be grounds for a fine.
You temporarily blind everyone on the road and endanger their lives because muh saltlife

Go turn your highbeams on and sit and stare at them at eye level for about 3 seconds, or just eat a bullet.

If you are enough of a faggot to care you can't afford the vehicle anyway

>See cop, turn them off. No consequences.

Except the part where I said it's illegal if they don't have a cover on them. It is a ticketable offense. Once again, blame law enforcement for not enforcing the law, and the drivers for not following the law. Not the equipment for being used as it wasn't intended.

>Q-tips say to not use inside the ear canal, people still do it and cause injury. Ban q-tips to prevent injury.
Solid logic you got

>Except the part where I said it's illegal if they don't have a cover on them.
What state

>Solid logic you got
Thanks.

Fuck off liberal trash. That logic is why gun control exists.

I literally have an AR-15 sitting not two-feet away from me lightbarbitch.

>Couple of douchebags illegally use their off road lights, ban all forms and ticket everyone who possesses them.

>Drunk driving and texting are illegal but some people still do it, ban alcohol and phones and ticket anyone who possesses those items.

Socialist much?

This. It's obnoxious if it's used for no good reason but otherwise why the fuck do you even care about other people's property?

I mean, if you live somewhere with a lot of straights its a bit silly to have hyperspots or similar setups as you have to shut off your high-beams sooner than you'd have to... still, when you live in an area with not a whole lot of straights, lots of moose, forest edges and so on it makes perfect sense to have a bar like that, wired so that it works together with the high-beams only

>Couple
lmao no

>implying banning alcohol and phones would be a bad thing

I've never once seen someone with them on in public roads, and I live in SC where every truck has these shits on. Kys you fucking faggot

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, you're a tripfag who isn't cancer. In my part of America there is no such thing as "offroad".
It's all private, or state owned land not suitable for vehicles. Every single brotruck I encounter is a pavement princess 100% and every one has a fucking landing strip worth of lights shining at night just to go driving to the local sheetz and rev at anyone pulling in.
Now, i wouldn't be a complete faggot about it if these chodes were polite enough just to keep it as rice but these are the kinds of people that would do this:
dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3622549/Terrifying-moment-pickup-truck-RAMS-car-highway-road-rage-encounter.html
Because they thought you were trying to race them.

So i've taken it upon myself to start loosening lug nuts on their wheels while they go stealing shit from the local walmart.

3/10 b8.
I'll give you some more:
>Porn is bad, ban computers, television, and any form of phone communication.

>Violence is bad, ban all forms of television, theatre, music, history, and anything that could be used for violence. Ban anything capable of violence, ban human beings, animals, and plants. The earth is now saved and can happily live forever.

>compares a lightbar to constitutionally protected rights
lmao.

How can you call yourself a free country if you can't even have a knife in Texas.

How can you call yourself free if your car needs front and back license plates.

Yeah, civil war is a great idea.

Banning alcohol the first time caused so many fucking problems it's not even fucking funny. Don't even joke about doing it today.

So wait, these folks use this type of lighting equipment (and probably more heavy duty than what I use by far) in urban areas and when they live in areas where there are streetslights and/or it doesn't really get that dark?

One would wish that they atleast had a switch that shuts off the power for the extra lights so that only the factory lights are functioning, but I'll guess that it would be way too complicated for the brahtruggers

If thats the type of area you're in and where they are using these types of lights then I see perfectly well where you're coming from

>So wait, these folks use this type of lighting equipment (and probably more heavy duty than what I use by far) in urban areas and when they live in areas where there are streetslights and/or it doesn't really get that dark?
In town it's not so bad, the other sources of light diminish the effect of the sunlightbar but they'll use them everywhere they go.
As well if they weren't pointed right at the face of oncoming traffic it wouldn't be a problem.

Specifically the bar in OP would be a public menace.

And I'm guessing a big part of the reason why its so annoying/dangeorus is that these guys are shit at shutting off their highbeams when someone comes in the oncoming lane around a corner or similar?

Also, sorta related; what is the english word shutting off your high beams when you're meeting someone? We call it "blending" here, but I got no clue if there is a proper english word for it

>And I'm guessing a big part of the reason why its so annoying/dangeorus is that these guys are shit at shutting off their highbeams when someone comes in the oncoming lane around a corner or similar?
They don't shut them off regardless, I don't know if they think the light is pointed higher than it is but in such circumstances i turn my highbeams back on and leave them on.

We just call it turning off highbeams.
Dunno how it is in your country but people have a problem with doing it here.

>Implying owning a light bar doesn't fall under the constitutional right of property.

>License plates are bad
I'm not even going to start with how bad the idea of total upregulation of everything is. That goes for your Texas claim. Taking some specific laws on knives and twisting it to entirety of knife ownership in Texas, nice try.

Without the implementation of reasonable and logical laws, there would be chaos. But according to you there is no thing as a grey area or middle ground. It's either 100% pure regulation on everything and everyone, or pure freedom to do what you want, including murder, rape, and theft.

>temporarily blind everyone on the road
How do I do that when it's off?

Traditionally auxiliary lights had to be covered because most lacked diffusers, and they would reflect headlights and cause blinding light without being on.
Basically like driving with a mirror on your grille.
Light bars don't have this issue. But arguments can be made that a cover will prevent accidently or purposely turning them on.

>>Implying owning a light bar doesn't fall under the constitutional right of property.
Oh, kinda like a certain plant that's still illegal in all 50 states.

People are generally very quite quick to shut them off when you have oncoming traffic - the result of basically living in near-complete darkness for half the year

One thing about LED-bars is that they tend to have a very big beam, meaning that you can't really direct the beam all that well due to the sheer size of it - either you're gonna have to point it so high that its not of use to any type of driving, or so low that you're going to blind yourself with that much light on the ground close to you

Still, this shit shouldn't be an issue - its as simple as that these folks should not have these lights on except when there is no oncoming traffic

Literally what?
Whether you think weed should be legal or not, it's still a federal crime. Owning something illegal isn't covered by a property right. If that were the case then I could murder whoever I wanted in my house I own because of my right of property and privacy. Owning a light bar is not a federal crime.
I was going to ask wtf you're smoking to try and make that argument, but you kind of answered it yourself.

>it's still a federal crime
That's what i said yes

Sooo, what is your actual argument then...

That your right to property is really whatever the government say's you're allowed to own. If tomorrow, light bars were federally banned you wouldn't have the right to that property anymore, essentially making that right meaningless.

Yea, okay. That's how governments work. If they were made illegal then I wouldn't own one, simple as that. And if I disagree then I would voice my concern, and if enough other people do there would be a vote or court case.
The government is supposed to be kept in check by the people. The people voiced enough to abolish the federal law against gay marriage, the people are currently voicing about legalizing marijuana.

I'm confused where your breakdown of how federal regulations work affects the argument of whether the light bars or the owners of light bars are to be held responsible for being used illegally on-road.

De-cating or modifications to the emission system on cars is federally illegal too user.
Does that stop anyone?

>making a row of leds mounted to a PCB that is housed inside of an aluminum housing with a piece of polycarbonate in front, illegal.

>Does that stop anyone?
That was my point.

>I'll source drunk driving and texting while driving as more examples.
>Even having a lightbar on your vehicle should be grounds for a fine.

Just keep fining people until they stop.

>>making a row of leds mounted to a PCB that is housed inside of an aluminum housing with a piece of polycarbonate in front, illegal.
>making an assortment of dried leaves illegal

ITT: A bunch of poorfags get assblasted because a single Rigid bar is worth more than their car/ yearly bus pass.

>Making dried leaves illegal
>Not making razor sharp cutting blades illegal

It's the intent of the product that makes it illegal. A kitchen knife isn't intended for murder, but to cut produce which isn't illegal. Murder is, so using a knife for murder doesn't negate the original intent of the knife, it makes its possessor using it outside its original purpose and breaking the law.
Weed's purpose is to alter the sober state of the mind, and usually things that do that are regulated or illegal for the safety of self and others. Heavy painkillers are prescribed and alcohol was once illegal too. It still is for the case of unregulated moonshine.
A light bar is for illuminating off-road paths, not on-road use. Light bars used improperly doesn't change what they were designed for, it means the operator is to be held accountable for their now illegal use of the product.

This is pretty sweet
