IIRC, it's legal to use fog lights + parking lights without headlights if the fog lights meet the low-beam requirements for placement and illumination pattern. Driving lights, OTOH, should be off anytime you wouldn't use high beams.mkosmo wrote:Not exactly... It's a violation to use parking lights instead of headlights, but nothing in the traffic code makes driving with parking lights on illegal.

Re: Got Pulled Over Three Times in Ten Minutes
Replace both; they're cheap, and they're most likely the same age, so the other one will probably die soon. Use the packaging from the new ones to store the still-working one in the car as an emergency spare. Losing a headlight in the middle of nowhere without a spare really isn't fun.WildBill wrote:This is a strange one for me. I was on my way home from dinner from a restaurant about 8 miles from my house. About two minutes after leaving the restaurant I got lit up. I pulled over, put on the dome light, got my DL and insurance papers. The officer explained that I had a headlight that was out. He ran my papers, asked if I had a gun. I replied "no sir". He gave me a warning and told me to fix the headlight. "I will get it fixed tomorrow", I promised.
I'd recommend Sylvania Xtravision. WalMart usually has them for $1-2 per bulb more than the cheapest bulbs.
