It is legal (at least federally, may vary by state), if wired as a brake light.

Of course your chances of actually getting busted are low, but that is another topic.

Can you be pulled over for it? Sure. Would I want to be without it in heavy rain/fog? Heck no.

Right, but OP sounds like it is wired as a running light, hence the thread. Debating the merits of the fog light is a separate topic.
