Maximum Number of Aux Lights?

is there a maximum number of lights you can have on at the same time (lights on the front of your car)?

lets say at night time or any time of the day where its really dark out. are you allowed to have all these on?

#1 Head Lights
#2 Driving lights
#3 Fog Lights

you can drive with all 3 on
as long as the beam is pointed down on # 2 and # 3. this will lessen ur chance of blinding a cop and pissin him off to the point he will pull u over
there is bout 2 Civics with Dual Fogs and one Range round here with Dual Driving lights. Its looks bad *** , lotts of light in front of them trucks!!


Jus angle the lights correctly and ull be fine!

u can deffinatly get away with Headlights and Driving/Foglights. (one pair)

In the US, this is incorrect. LEGALLY - you may only use TWO sets (pairs) of "driving lights" (which is headlights, foglights, spot-fogs, etc.) at one time. I'm not sure about the laws in Canada, but I believe they are the same as in the States.

Use of the brights, whether they are a separate bulb (like the P5) or a dual-filament, dual purpose bulb (like the Pro sedans) constitutes the use of two sets - this is why the fogs on the Pros (and any other car with stock foglights) shut off when you use the brights.

People who install driving lights and use more than two sets at a time are in violation of the law - and being just plain frigging rude to boot. If you can't see the road with normal driving lights, get some glasses or get off the streets. And blinding people for the purpose of "looking cool" is not right at all.

Don't we have enough crap to deal with when big-*** SUVs have lights so high up I can read a book with the reflection of the light in my rearview mirror?
