personally I wouldn't unless they were 55w but that's just me. I have 130w lights and use them all the time but turn them off when there is a car in front of me or coming towards me

I wouldn't use 100w driving lights in everyday driving. Even the 55w pair I had I felt bad for the glare I inflicted on people because to aim them how I wanted they were blinding.

Depending on how bright they look I might just use them instead of headlights, just have parking lights on. But my main question is I shouldn't have any problems with po-lece about them not being covered?
