Sec. 547.330. AUXILIARY DRIVING LAMPS PERMITTED.
(a) A motor vehicle may be equipped with no more than two auxiliary driving lamps.
(b) An auxiliary driving lamp shall be mounted on the front of the vehicle at a height from 16 to 42 inches.
(c) Auxiliary driving lamps may be used with headlamps as specified by Section 547.333.
My question is what counts as a driving lamp? Does one 40" LED light bar count as just 1 auxiliary driving lamp?
I'm about to pull the trigger on a light bar and want to make sure I'm legal driving with it on, especially in the mornings (5 am) coming in from the hill country.
LEOs, would there be an issue with me driving with that on (only when the head lights are on)? It will be on a separate Aux switch so it can be turned off separate of the head lights. I'd be OK turning it off when I get to the city, but want to make sure I wouldn't get tagged if I forgot to turn it off.
Similar to this, but mounted behind the grill. Not on the bumper:
