Fog light

I'm pretty sure it's not legal.

Any automotive lighting that is not DOT (Department of Transportation) certified or stamped cannot be used on vehicles driven public roads or highways.

The rear fog light was never meant for the USDM market.

With that said, I don't think any cops would really care anyway.

Yup you're right. Once I drove down a main street in my area around 3am and boy there was a crap load of cops. A few was even following me for a few blocks until I turned on to my street.

Didnt even get pulled over for my loud exhaust. Maybe because it was raining pretty hard. lol

Honestly, I'd love to see a cop write me a citation for a device designed to 'aid in alerting following traffic of my intent to stop thus increasing general safety on the roads'.

Even if they did write me a ticket, I'd just go to court for it and the case would be dismissed, ergo no ticket.
