Driving without headlights

mrsmith · 06-26-2015, 03:54 PM

I'm going to be removing my headlights this coming week to ship then for some halo installation and housing/ shroud work. I'lll probably be without headlights for 5-6 days but I still need drive my car to/from work, errands, etc. Would I encounter any mechanical issues while driving? I have stillen G3s installed and I don't want the openings to allow dirt and debris to be sucked up by then or anything else by that matter. Obviously I wouldn't drive at night

You can still be ticketed. ORS 816.050.

Plus it rains in Oregon, do no head lights during the day can be a real safety hazard.

Just get some nice LED flashlights and duct tape them on at night?

Aside from the legal/ safety issues though. Will my car be safe? And right now we're on a third straight week of no rain with none to come in the near future ��
