They do candela measurements at various incident angles. You must be compliant from all applicable angles. Basically, fail one, fail em all.

Not only is there not a good field test for luminescence, it means nothing as applied to the law.

Just to pile on some useless info, My old Audis had a rear Fog light standard. When I used it people would always say to me I had a bulb out cause it was brighter than the other bulbs in the array.

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.
