One set for front running lamps and the other for front signal lamps.
I dunno what SAE Standard J2042-2003 is.......and if that means that they will be legal for my intended use or not.
Larry?
I'd like to look at that cvse lighting brochure.
My pods are flood........guess I'll need covers.......
I have H4 headlamps and will be using 80 / 100 watt bulbs. In the event of getting an "inspection", I'll pull the bulbs and put in the 55 60's.
Is it those two pods that he was referring to?
Those pods could qualify for auxiliary driving lights, if you aim them as per;
Auxiliary driving lamps
4.09 (1) A motor vehicle may be equipped with 2 auxiliary driving lamps, mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height of not less than 40 cm and not more than 1.06 m, that are capable of displaying only white light.
(2) An auxiliary driving lamp must be directed so that the high intensity portion of the beam is, at a distance of 8 m from the lamp, at least 12 cm below the height of the lamp and, at a distance of 25 m from the lamp, not higher than 1.06 m from the road surface.
(3) An auxiliary driving lamp must operate so that it is illuminated only when the upper beam of a multiple beam headlamp is illuminated.
[en. B.C. Reg. 476/98, s. 2.]
Or, could qualify as spotlamps;
Spotlamps
4.24 (1) A motor vehicle on a highway may be equipped with not more than 2 spotlamps that are capable of displaying only white light.
(2) An illuminated spotlamp must be directed so that the high intensity portion of the beam will not strike the windows, mirrors or occupants of another vehicle.
(3) A spotlamp must be securely fastened to the motor vehicle, and the lamp or control must not interfere with the driver's vision or control of the vehicle.
(4) A spotlamp must not be used in substitution of headlamps.
(5) Subsections (1) to (3) do not apply to emergency vehicles.
Ok, so you have LED headlights aimed a little high........how did he know this?
Your off road lights........are they mounted above your headlights, level with, or below?
If mounted level with or below.......they can be classified as "driving lights", for a number of two lights. Driving lights don't need to be covered........see the bclaws link that I posted.
ANY light mounted above the headlamp lights [ other than clearance lights ] can be classified as "off road", whether they are in fact for off road, or not.
I have a pair of pods that will be mounted below the headlamp height, and a small spot bar mounted at around the height of headlamps.......but I do have an opaque cover for the bar.
Cops........you get pulled over for something, and soon one *observation* leads to another, and another...........
We all know that getting a VI or ticket during a road side stop can be subject to the desires, intentions and knowledge base [ or lack of ] of the individual LEO. I once went through an RCMP traffic stop / check, and upon showing her my hunting firearm at her request, she asked her partner what the "thingy" was clamped on the trigger...........my hunting partner and I looked at each other in disbelief when she said that. Hummmm.
Maybe one should keep a copy of the Motor Vehicles Laws in the glove box, just to have on hand, if needed.
