Laws on lights???

[carisu]

Anyone know the official law about fog lights an how many lights can be on at a time? I've added some Warn foglights that are the yellow tint kind. I want to run them with both bim and bright headlights. Can I run the dims, factory fogs, and the Warn fogs at the same time or do I have to shut off the factory fogs?

Thanks!

as far as i know there is no law on it my friend had an old chevy with 2 sets of fog lights aftermarket ones anyway and he ran those with the regular headlights and never had a problem with police but i would go check with your local sheriffs office or police office just to make sure on it

I think it will be legal if they are yellow.

Actually law states you can only use them in inclamate weather( sorry bout the spelling) although they probably will not pull you over for it but they can. my father in law is cheif of police in okoboji iowa and i asked him and a couple of state troopers and thats what they told me.
