Better be careful when picking a new handle. Bill complained a few weeks ago
about a person changing his handle. He prefers that we all use our real
name.

2. Front fog lamps shall be mounted on the same level on opposite
sides of the front of the vehicle at or below the level of the
headlamps. Front fog lamps may be used with lower beam headlamps or
switch controlled in conjunction with the headlamps and may be used,
at the discretion of the driver, with either low or high beam
headlamps. Front fog lamps shall not be used in substitution of
headlamps, when headlamps are required.

So according to that document it is NOT illegal to have fogs on with
high beams. He said to show him where it says it IS illegal to have
the fogs on with high beams. It also says "Front fog lamps shall not
be used in substitution of headlamps, WHEN HEADLAMPS ARE REQUIRED."
That's pretty open to interpretation. So in other words he can use
fogs without headlights if conditions are right, like in the morning
when the sun is out but it's really foggy. Headlamps aren't required
in fog, and they can even make things work. I don't see where quoting
this document has done anything except prove both of mabar's points.

They may have changed the code since the last time I read it.
All I did was google for the site based on what I remembered before.
My point was legality depends on each states regulations.

But likewise you also can't go by just one paragraph. For example,
the definition of nighttime includes situations were visiblity is
1000ft or less. Therefore in fog, headlamps are required.

IIRC there is also a requirement that headlamps be on when wipers
are on. Heard that on the news a few days back.

That's not true at all, you need both fog lamps and head lights at the same
time to have enough light to see where you are going.

Running with fog lamps alone does not provide enough light to see where you
are going. What fog lights do is light up the the fog from a different angle
than the head lights, which cuts the reflected light from the head lights.
You need headlamps and fog lights at the same time.

That's not true at all, you need both fog lamps and head lights at the same
time to have enough light to see where you are going.

Running with fog lamps alone does not provide enough light to see where you
are going. What fog lights do is light up the the fog from a different angle
than the head lights, which cuts the reflected light from the head lights.
You need headlamps and fog lights at the same time.

That is most certainly true during hours of darmness, but it might not be
quite so true during the day. I can cehck, if anybody cares.

Hi Jeff,
It would probably be under the as law as parking lights, that may
not be used on the road without headlights on, I would presume that
would be day or night, as it's not specified. I don't care enough
research it, just so others won't get the ticket.

I have driven in fog so thick, that you could not see 10 feet in front of
the vehicle with the headlights on. I still maintain that in dense fog, the
headlights reflect way too much light back into the driver's eyes.
