Jeep drivers are the biggest offenders using non-DOT lights that are flood lights, not focused beam lights.
Passing Jeeps wearing these as a young kid in the 1970's, I thought they were just smiley faces on offroad lights, until one day I realized it was actually writing.
Most, if not all of these lights are non-compliant, likewise LED replacement headlight bulbs. As you noted, enforcement is lax.
I see it more on pickups than on Jeeps...especially those whose owners seem to think it makes them look macho to have overly bright lights in addition to lift kits, loud pipes and in the case of diesels, emission bypass modifications. Never a speck of dirt on them, so you can be sure they're not doing any off-roading.
Same. Now that Jeep has gone into selling Wranglers with compliant OEM offroad lighting, it seems to be more the idiots with jacked up diesel 2500's that never actually do any work, wearing all the blinding LED lighting in the grilles and hood scoops.
Only works if they're behind you though...
Millennial Asphalt Cowboys. Fancy boys with fancy trucks that never see the mud. The loud, smoking Cummins and Duramaxes are really annoying, don't give a s#!t about the environment or other people. it's all about "Look at me."
