Running angel eyes at night

I plan on installing some angel eyes this weekend with my 6k fog lights. I was wondering if it is legal to just run the angel eyes and the 6k fogs together without the headlights on? I hooked up the angel eyes to the battery to see how they would look and they seem to give off alot of light output. But I don't want to get pulled over by the cops so I figured I asked sooner rather than later. I can't afford to get another ticket.

Night = lights = low beams = don't try to look cool and ask to be pulled over

Makes me wonder how long i'll be able to drive around like that... it's been like 2 weeks now...


my foggies are pretty powerful though, and I can see really well...


BTW, i dont have the angel eyes, just the fog mod.

I do it at dusk quite often, but never when it's pitch dark out.

Just run w/ them till dusk, if it's any darker out side you'll draw attention to yourself. It may look real kool but a traffic ticket ain't worth all that.

I was saying good thing there are no children to run around on route 10 just deer. If i hit a kid i dont think i would ever want to drive again, when school is lets out around two or three i dont even like to be on the road.

I have (or had DDEs) and I had them wired up to my corner lights. Basically, in my sig is how I had them lit up. I wish I had them wired up to a separate switch, but I wouldn't drive around with DDEs/corner lights + fogs at night. It would look extremely nice, but very illegal.
