Check your state and local laws. State motor vehicle laws are usually what determine the legality of mods to cars including the colors of aftermarket lights/bulbs, tints, ride height etc.

actually, if you read the laws...all fog lights are illegal, even the ones that come on ur car from the factory. In the codes theres like "any light from 3 inches to xx inches must be driving lights only" Hence making fog lights illegal. Most cops just don't care though. I had a friend as a cop and we went to a dealer and we went to each car and he picked out at least three things on each car that was illegal, that could get you pulled over and ticketed...fresh off the assembly line. It was nuts.
