Chime and fog lights???

You could hook them up to the headlamp wiring as per the instruction sheet.

In most states it is illegal not to have your fog of driving lamps hooked in with your head lamp system. When you turn on your high beams your driving and fog lamps should turn off. I would suggest you check your state laws and that is why OEM fogs and driving lamps turn off when the high beams are on.

State law?? in what state?? I have heard some funny reasons for having the fogs or low beams turn off when you click on the high-beams... this one takes the cake though.

Several... California being one. I didn't find the actual statute online, but they have regualtions such that "driving lights must only operate with high means - fog lights must only operate with low beams".

Canada also has a similar law:

"Fog lamps on a motor vehicle must be used only at the same time the low beams on the headlamps are used."

I wouldn't be surprised to find many other states with similar regulations.

Oregon law even states that any auxiliary driving and/or fog lights should be turned OFF whenever you are required to dim your headlights.

mention a federal standard in this document too, but they don't give any pointers to it.

Pennsylvania is another. Driving on with high beam only and fog on with low beam only. Must be this way to pass state inspection. Greg

the feds DON'T regulate them BUT to check the state laws becausethey DO.

Oh and just to toss more junk lights on the fire, The NHTSA has been making manufacturers of those stupid clear lenses tail lights recall them since they are ILLEGAL in the US.

For more info.

my brother and I got pulled over in Redding one night and warned that driving/road lights are only to be used on "country" roads and not to be used when there's incoming traffic...

it was actually kind of funny... an oncoming car flashed his brights... my brother wasn't on brights, so he flashed back, to show that he was on low beams... that was answered by a red spot light and followed by red & blue.. lol

I dont know if they are the OEM headlights these days, or if they are the after market upgraded lights, but they are REALLY bright! I have been driving my truck, 99 Dak 4x4, so its not very low, and I have been pretty well blinded. I flash my (dim) brights and then they flash theirs, so I know its just thier low beams that are lighting up the skys and blinding oncoming traffic. I also love the idiots that just lift the front or their trucks, or just lower the back end, and dont adjust their lights.

Ditto for the yoyo's pulling trailers.
