Im looking to get a set of kc Apollo 55 wat driving lights and put them on the bumper and splice into the factory fog light harness.

Can I drive around with these things on all the time without blinding people? Or are they like another type of long range light?

 

In manitoba i know its a bad idea and it may overload the foglight relay/switch fuse etc. to be safe id say dont do it lol

 

Many places have laws against offroad lights being used when on public roads. I would not suggest it.

 

Check your state law. Minnesota for example you can't have more the one set of accessory driving lights on at a time

State laws would be the first problem; CANBUS would be the second.
55 watt draw on factory fogs = trouble, unless you used the fog circuit to trip a relay and the lights were powered separately

 

x3 on state laws. In Alaska you can have up to four lights on only when there is oncoming traffic. If not, go nuts. They also can't be aimed to PURPOSELY blind drivers. That's a bit of an "up to interpretation" thing, and it's why I have my Lightforce 170's aimed so low so that I can still use them on the road here.

Some states have a maximum wattage and placement restriction. It's not intuitive but it is definitely worth your time to do the homework. Also keep in mind that things change. There was a maximum wattage restriction here but it was rescinded.

The best way is to slap a relay into the stock wiring with a separate power to the battery if you want to use them with the stock fog light harness.

 

Turn them on and see if you get flashed. If people are flashing you, that usually means the lights are bothering them. But typically it's a bad idea to do so.

 

I thought the 07-10s (11s?) had a 55w fogs in them? And that it was the 11s(?)/12s that switched to the 24w fogs?

 

That information is semi-correct....

07-09.....55w
10+.........24w
