driving lights should not be illegal.... many cars come with them stock

My state has a law against too many driving lights...

you are allowed 2 headlights, and two driving lights. We had to specially wire my friends KC Daylighters on his jeep, just so we could pull it off without any issues

It should not be illegal. It is illegal however to drive with your foglights AND your highbeams on at the same time. If you have you fog lights on them will automatically shut off when you put your high beams on but there are ways around that

My brother got a ticket in Co. when driving thru the state with his factory fog lights on. Here in Mn it's on the books also as illegal to runclear drivinglights(not headlights), I was stopped but no ticket for driving with them on, now they just ignore it unless they want something to stop you for.
My trike has1 headlight and 4 driving lights on mostthe time

i did, the next day. it turns out the officer at the station said it was legal to have my lower lights on as long as they were not acting as primary head lights and not on when my brights were on.

the best part is that the officer that gave me the "fix it" ticket probably knew that i was not doing anything wrong because on my copy of the ticket the violation code was for NOT having any lights on at all!! i had lights on at the time. what a joke!!
