Legal for off-road use in Snowmobile and ATV headlights and off-road racing use only auxiliary or forward lighting. International street legality varies by country. NOTE: This usage regulation is not unique to AUXBEAM Lighting bulbs. All LED and HID bulbs from all other brands, regardless of marketing claims, are prohibited from street use in halogen headlights in the USA.”
As a remedy, Auxbeam is offering to replace, free of charge, each LED Bulb you purchased in the United States with a halogen bulb that complies with the requirements of FMVSS 108.
