Does this exist? Having a hard time finding one. Need it to be SAE / street legal.

The only aftermarket lights I have found, so far, to be street legal (SAE compliant) are Fog lights.

Why do you need so much light? That's likely to blind oncoming traffic.

Doubtful it exists. Found the below though:

Due to sae standards, a 20 inch light bar might exceed allowable light output. And a curved version might throw light in places it shouldn’t.

No light bar curved or not is SAE. Offroad use only.

Both reputable brands, both sae

Now, ethically, should it be used as a supplemental light, probably not but legally, could be.

SAE fog lights are pretty self-explanatory. LED driving lights are legally intended to be supplemental high beams, so not to be used within 500 feet of oncoming traffic, or whatever your local law dictates for high beam use. As was previously mentioned, there is also a maximum number of forward-facing lights that may legally be used simultaneously. Usually that is 4. Headlights count as 2 (and are usually required after dusk) so 2 more SAE compliant lights may also be used while the headlights are on, so either SAE fogs or SAE driving lights.

A 50" curved light bar definitely won't be SAE compliant or legal.

technically they are labeled and intended to use as fogs bumper mount only. You could probably still get a ticket and fail an inspection if you mount them elsewhere. but your not wrong, it is a light "bar"

You’re right, doubt a cop or state trooper would love this pointed in their eyes as they drive by.

I’ve always been taught since I learned how to drive… take the radar detector down anytime you’re in Virginia, and go 5 under. Not worth it there.

I’m down in Georgia and just about anything flies so long as you aren’t endangering someone else imminently
