i'm currently considering some supplemental lighting systems for my civic (a little too sheisty to fork over 500 for an hid system)

hella has some kits and so does piaa. i was wondering if these were any good or worth it? anyone have any experience with them?

i get the feeling most people (cops) will confuse them for foglights and give me trouble so i'm concerned about legality issues also.

 

Since when were fog lights illegal?
If they are Yellow/White... they are fine.

PIAA & Hella are the only brands I would go with for aux lighting.

 

i thought they were illegal when it isn't foggy?

 

nooo, there are so many cars that come w/them factory. everytime i see an IS at night those badass yellow fogs are always on hehe.

 

You could always opt for the OEM style fogs and then just upgrade to different bulbs. Cops can't argue if they came from the factory... :chuckles:

 

yea, i always drive w/my foglights on. when its really misty and kinda dark outside i usually drive with just my foglights/parking lights on.

 

as far as i know, it's illegal to have foglights on when it isn't foggy. i've never heard of anyone getting pulled for it, but it's still a law. :dunno: and i have a friend that had piaa driving lights, and he's thinking about getting rid of them because they're just not good enough. i'll have to find out exactly why he doesn't like them anymore.

 

i kno someone that got a ticket for driving with his fog lights on (stock m3). but then again, this was when they were cracking down on cruising in old town pasadena about 5 yrs ago when they pulled over ANY car that was modified

 

weird california laws

 

you can also try "Catz" lighting by FET.

Even though I have PIAA 1400 series (fog).
But, I once had Catz about 6 yrs ago on my old car. Only reason I don't have them now is that I could'nt find a dealer near in Tx.
Also. In my opinion the top makers are Piaa, Hella and FET.
