    I was gonna say too, using them against oncoming traffic would be bad. They look like the lights that I see on hardcore off-road vehicles, where there is no other lighting than what you brought along.

    So during the noon peak light hour on roads w/o streetlights on, this will brighten up the road even more. How is that even possible?

    do not know, but I think they were so bright that you blew a transformer at 0:37.

    Any video of how it looks to the oncoming driver a good distance away?

    No front plate. That's not legal here. I wasn't sure when the light bar was on or not in the video.

    moto g(7) power ?

    I have it mounted on a racing plate that screws in, takes 10seconds.. I can "fix" it in 2minutes... it's also a $0 fix it ticket even if your cought.

    I posted a timeline of the events, so thats your fault if your not sure.. low beams -> high beams -> off -> Bar.. couldn't make it any clearer...
