They're supposed to be illegal. Anybody ever get pulled over for using amber fogs in the snow/rain? Thinking about swapping out my USELESS white fog lamps.

Fog lights of any kind I can put up with, but those damn piercing blue headlights drive me nuts.

i remember when fog lights had to be covered when on highways and in town, you could get pulled over for them not being covered. now idiots mount light bars above the windshield and use them on highway. cant be legal

I don't see anything in there about whether they are clear/white or yellow lamps.

Since my last stroke those bright lights and fog lights give me a terrible headache.
Have to wear sunglasses during the day now too and wear the yellow driving glasses for night to cut down on the light brightness.
Used to be able to just get by with my glasses with the lenses coated with photo-gray.

Seems I see a lot of front seat tinted windows nowadays too, aren't those illegal? They are kind of dangerous as you can't see if the driver is paying attention

I'll be sadly straight up. During the last few years in the Farce, it would require a major infraction for me to initiate contact. It wasn't worth it. Even as of 2011 there were certain nights at the club which were exempt from the UCMJ and Century Code. I became an equal opportunity ignorer. Overhead was ate up with "HR" worshippers/fearers and outspoken Democoms.

I was wondering about tinted windows too... some of them seem like they could be a hazard for visibility.
