As always, rare but possible.

Just seems silly and subjective. If he's spending that much time and effort for a fix it ticket, you've got bigger problems.

Surprisingly common in fairfax county. This is a county where I received an exhaust ticket for my stock exhaust.

Really? :shakes head: Its not illegal at all if used properly. Cars have high beam lights but if there not used correctly there illegal. So yes I stand by my previous statement that the rear foglight is not illegal at all.

it is illegal though, in a whole wide range of circumstances, specifically the one he is using it in. He asked for help fixing it, not people to tell him it is legal.

When does he say he is using it as a running light? All he says is that other people find is distracting. I have had friends tell me the same thing when I use it at night and ya know what I tell them? "its suppose to be bright"

On a side note... this is run off the license plate voltage so it's on whenever the head lights are on. I'm just a bit OCD and like all my lights to be equal "bright-ness".

You get in trouble if you don't follow the rules. You won't if you don't. Personal attacks are against the rules, disagreeing is not.

lol at all the bickering..

OP, you can do what I did.. I got a 2 stage socket and bulb from autolumination.com. (7443 was the socket type I believe) I have it wired to the taillight circuit, so that its dim when the headlights are on, and lights up bright when you press the brake. Might be what you are looking for.

Most vehicle come standard with this feature, your location and the officer that pulls you over will be the jugde regardless.

i have been trying to get info on this setup for the longest time, but people have been saying that evo-r fog lights do not support that function cause they dont have the dimming function.

JDM foglights do?

You could always add a resistor to drop the voltage.
