I dont remeber the total wattage, but im pretty sure just one of those lights are more then the legal limit. But in all seriousness, if its a fog light and aimed properly so its never in anyones eyes and just iliminates the road like there designed to, you shouldent have any proplems with them.

its to bad they run off of 28 volts... so you wouldnt be seeing the 1000 watts........ now you could get 1000 watts out of them... but lets see... at 13.8 volts... you'll need about 72 amps.... and i dont think your alternator would be able to handle it..... anyways... i bet their bright!

So if i am getting it right.... the alternator is to weak? And would need to do some transformer or whatever it is called for the higher volts?
