Re: Hi Beams and Fog lights??
In Ohio, the law allows a maximum of five headlights or auxiliary lights on
at one time.
"(A) Whenever a motor vehicle equipped with headlights also is equipped with
any auxiliary lights or spotlight or any other light on the front thereof
projecting a beam of an intensity greater than three hundred candle power,
not more than a total of five of any such lights on the front of a vehicle
shall be lighted at any one time when the vehicle is upon a highway."
