Just an FYI,

From their own website:

Our lights ARE SAE/DOT Compliant. All lights come default out of the box in SAE/DOT (FMVSS) mode to be legal in all 50 states. SAE actually has a MAX intensity (not just MIN), in order to meet this level the light is dimmer in these modes. Our lights have different intensity modes not just in the brake stage, but also for running, so you can pick the one you like the best! All other modes EXCEED SAE/DOT Compliance. While most states are fairly lenient towards extra rear visibility, it is your responsibility to check your local laws when using these other modes.

I know in California you cannot exceed SAE/DOT max.

They are bright, but my Kuryakyn LED brake and turn signals wired to flash during the braking process really put out a ton of light as well. I'm sure they're good ones.
