Hmmm... That was a very well thought out and eloquently phrased response. However, in NJ (where I originally bought them and had them professionally installed), they ARE LEGAL. If not, then I guess the guys working at the state vehicle inspection stations don't know their jobs (mandatory vehicle inspections in NJ). Also, in NJ it doesn't matter if the fog/driving/auxiliary/whatever lights are yellow or white, if the high-beam headlights are on then the auxiliary lights must go off. Auxiliary lights could only be used in conjunction with the low-beam headlights. My PIAAs didn't emit anything "blue" whatsoever (I don't recall mentioning anything about blue lenses, etc.), and I don't really care if they were called driving lamps, fog lamps, auxiliary lamps, or Rudolph's red nose lamps. They worked extremely well in all conditions, they were legal, and I'd buy them again. Right now I don't have room for them because of all of the "off-road use only" lamps that I have mounted on the pushbar of my Tahoe with the 6" lift and 38" tires. Oh, and yes there are such things as lights designed for off-road use only due to the intensity of the lights. If you want to squabble about manufacturer's specifications versus enforcement then by all means pin on a shield and spend your evenings in traffic court for all of the bullshit tickets that you wrote. Not only will the judge think you're an asshole, but you'll get real tired of spending all of your time in court real fast.
