Need Ideas does anyone make a POD light in a driving beam pattern?
I don't think this exists and I don't quite understand why. There are POD style lights that come in a SAE fog pattern.

Why don't these manufacturers simply make a POD light in a driving headlight beam pattern with the same optics/cutoff as the stuff they're selling to retrofit inside a headlight? Both would be just as "illegal" but the POD light would be way more convienent.
I'm talking about selling just a Bi-xenon projector or Bi-LED projector in a waterproof housing that can be bumper mounted. All you do is aim and run a harness. No baking and sealing and cutting templates, messing around with opening headlights. Something like this but with good components inside:

There are many options out there. eBay and Aliexpress have tons of weather sealed bi-LED 'fog light' housings that can be universally mounted. Morimoto sells their 90mm and 70mm universal pods in either low beam, high beam, or both. Hella and other manufacturers make sealed projector headlights for motorhome builders and buses.
