You should definitely consider looking into this as it's generally basic law that cyclists must obey all the same laws as motorists—although they have the right-of-way at all times.

I don't think it would be a problem. The yellow leds are similar brightness as low beam on a car.

The light actually spreads wider than a car headlight. The lighting pattern is more like a street light, than a headlight. The middle of the road in the distance, is not lit as bright as a with car headlight.

It is bright compared to bicycle headlights.
