Light law question
I drive a 97 F150 Lariat 4x4 w/ factory fog lights. I am currently thinking of adding a set of aftermarket fog/driving lights to my truck. I am wondering what the law is about lighting. I won't be running the aftermarket lights with the factory fogs when they are on.

As I understand the law, you can run 2 sets of lights at once, either fogs with low beams, or driving with high beams. Now I personaly run fogs alone as daytime running lights on the car. But as far as "the man" you will be illegal running fogs or driving lights alone during the night. Will you get pulled over for it? Maybe. When I get my new Buckstop bumper, I will be running aux lights instead of the heads, I may get some grief.
