Amber fog lights and DOT

[guywhofishes]

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.

Is this an actual concern?
Put em on old man, to hell with the law.

Pretty sure open container is still an issue for insurance rates etc. though - not? ;:;boozer

Fog lights ordered. Thanks for the sage advice everyone.

I reprogrammed my F150 so the fog lights stay on with the high beams.

Had 'em on my car for years, but that was close to four decades ago. :;:smokin

It seems that anything is legal now days! I can't believe the shit that is trying to drill a hole in my brain while driving ND highways!

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

Lighted fog lamps meeting the above requirements may be used with lowerheadlamp beams as specified in subsection 2 of section 39-21-20.


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

I reprogrammed my F150 so the fog lights stay on with the high beams.

I installed a module from Fleece Performance called All Lights On to accomplish this. What a huge difference. Yes I know it's illegal, don't care. Still turn off the high beams when passing oncoming traffic, so only the low beams and fog lights are on.

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.
