Tried to do a search but couldn't really find anything, I'm about to get my fog light in about a couple days, but I was wondering..has anyone gotten pulled over for it? I'm located in SoCal, but input from anywhere else would be cool

nope. ive even ran it during a down pour when i was testing out my DW's. i passed by 3 cops, and one even was behind me (not chasing me btw :icon17: ).

no issue.

No Problems so far. I use mine as a additional brake light, Because of the brighter light.

I felt that was be less attractive than to having it constantly on wired to the parking lights.

What would be the reason for them to pull you over? I couldn't think of any unless there's a law that prohibits it.
Unless your like me, I was pulled over for illegal possession of an ugly face!LOL

:iagree: I must say :worthless: of your face. :stirthepot:

Strictly speaking, illegal in most states (at least to operate in clear conditions), but it is rarely enforced.

Since you are in Cali, relevant law here:

V C Section 24602 Fog Taillamps

Quote:

24602. (a) ( )1 A vehicle may be equipped with not more than two red fog taillamps mounted on the rear which may be lighted, in addition to the required taillamps, only when atmospheric conditions, such as fog, rain, snow, smoke, or dust, reduce the daytime or nighttime visibility of other vehicles to less than 500 feet.

(b) ( )2 The lamps authorized under subdivision (a) shall be installed as follows:

(1) When two lamps are installed, one shall be mounted at the left side and one at the right side at the same level and as close as practical to the sides. When one lamp is installed, it shall be mounted as close as practical to the left side or on the center of the vehicle.

(2) The lamps shall be mounted not lower than 15 inches nor higher than 60 inches.

(3) The edge of the lens of the lamp shall be no closer than four inches from the edge of the lens of any stoplamp.

(4) The lamps shall be wired so they can be turned on only when the headlamps are on and shall have a switch that allows them to be turned off when the headlamps are on.

(5) A nonflashing amber pilot light ( )3 that is lighted when the lamps are turned on shall be mounted in a location readily visible to the driver.

Ahh I see, thanks for that red :tup:

Yea, triples's I bought the short harness from z1 so I'm gonna wire it too the license plate lights I'm a noob when it comes to wiring, feel like that might be the easiest lol
