Last time I was in Texas every lifted truck had hid's in the stock lense(in correct focusing). I think you will be fine.

I had to switch the outside wires to make em work and when you turn on brights they dim to the t pattern thats in the link ^^ up there.
Its the outside two wires in the 2nd pic. i dont think they will be too bright we shall see im going to see a cop and ask just to be sure i know one in the area and he will give me a no bs opinion

 

[Kain]

the third pic is with the brights on and makes it dim so im going to ask the company how to make em like that normal.

I was just behind two cops and didnt stop me so i think im good

A cop won't/ can't stop you for how bright they are. There isn't anything in the states' laws that I know of limiting light output. Plus they have no way of measuring brightness so it couldn't enforced anyway. You could be stopped for misuse of high beams though, so make sure you aim them properly to avoid being hassled.

 

[Kain]

i did and going to ask mech about it

If there not DOT approved many States have laws against running them. That goes for taillights as well.

 

[Kain]

they say they are dot approved, they are not marked though like most

Along this line of thought I was considering changing mine from dual rectangles to the larger single rectangle and then going LED. I am already redoing the wiring harness for the truck. That considered, is there much of a list of parts aside from the buckets, screws, adjusters, springs and bezels?

DOT approval usually means they just have a certain light output. It doesn't mean they're street legal in any state. Those blue tinted headlights that try to make the light look whiter are a prefect example. So are all those colored rings around the head lights or LED light bars. Every state has laws prohibiting colors other than white/ red/ amber and even those are specific to certain areas of the vehicle.

I've had friends that have been ticketed for taillights & aftermarket headlights and in most cases the light looked OE. When the IS300 was new my sister would get pulled over because that car had a Euro looking taillight and the cops thought it was aftermarket.
