The rear fog light was never meant for the USDM market.

With that said, I don't think any cops would really care anyway.
Yup you're right. Once I drove down a main street in my area around 3am and boy there was a crap load of cops. A few was even following me for a few blocks until I turned on to my street.

Didnt even get pulled over for my loud exhaust. Maybe because it was raining pretty hard. lol

Honestly, I'd love to see a cop write me a citation for a device designed to 'aid in alerting following traffic of my intent to stop thus increasing general safety on the roads'.

Even if they did write me a ticket, I'd just go to court for it and the case would be dismissed, ergo no ticket.
