Are they LED pods? If they are, you shouldn't drive in high traffic areas like highways, cities and ect. with them on. They are way too bright for the road and meant for country driving and offroading.

If you're trying to upgrade to better lights because the original ones aren't very bright, I would start by getting a heavy duty headlight wiring harness, and just get some new decent headlights, and then aim them correctly by moving the adjusters. Led pods and lightbars are too bright even during sunset or just lowlight they're crazy bright to look at.
I have a 42 inch on my daily driver.

Well if you do think of other people while driving then you should probably have no problem with getting pulled over for too many lights, if you run high beams and those pods at the same time. Since when you turn off the pods you also turn off your high beams so then you only have two lights on.

I'm from ND too and I never even knew about that law lol, but there's plenty of people running around with factory fog lights on all the time and that kind of stuff.
