in CA, if they are below the regular headlights they are considered driving lights. anything above and they need to be covered. i think that brush guard needs a couple lights to assist in night rescues.

Idk what my regulations are about them being above or below the headlights as far as regulations go. most everything that will be above my stock headlights will be above 55w and not street legal anyways. I'd be more than happy with upgraded stocker lights, a set of 55w driving lights and some decent fogs, anything else is way overkill for the street.

i live in va and researching laws and stuff to buy to lift my truck and ran across this and yes i know its an old post but just in-case someone wanted to take his word and not look into the laws themselves, Virginia state laws states that no more than four lights , not including tail lights and brakes lights can be lit at the same time. this also doesnt include interior or lights rated less than 15 candle power. and the only lights other than headlights and fog lights and the 15 candle power or less that can be lit while on a va road are lights that the manufacture has installed on the car/suv.


not getting on anyone's case just setting the facts straight

I have one on my '94. It's a Mavic that I picked up from a truck accessory store. It bolts to the tow hook mounts so now I'm looking for a place to mount my hooks.

Is that a Westin?

I had the exact one, but it was Stainless Steel, costed a pretty penny.

Anyways, I let my brother drive it and he went 60-70 into the back of a minivan.

Anyways, My bumper was destroyed, the guard was twisted, almost no other body damage.

Lets just say the van was like a smashed coke can :P At the cost of almost a thousand dollars though I miss my guard.

Their strong.

Do you have a link to this law? I went digging through the state police website to look up the info and didn't see anything about that. My lights have since been removed from the Jeep because they were unreliable due to location and wiring issues(mainly I need some electric contact grease for the bulbs and new battery cables)

Try quadratec's website. I've just purchased an xj and have been looking and making a list. The closest thing I've found is on their website http://www.quadratec.com/default_cherokee.php

Hey I know this is an old thread but I just picked up a brush guard that looks exactly the same as this and was wondering which holes on the frame it mounts to.
