    C. There is no limit on the number of backup lamps that a vehicle may have so long as they are of an approved type (SAE-R).
    D. No more than four lamps, including two headlamps, may be lighted at any time to provide general illumination ahead of the vehicle.
    E. Approved type (DOT or SAE-W) blue or blue and red lights are permitted on Department of Corrections vehicles designated by the Director of the Department of Corrections and any law-enforcement vehicle.
    I. Inspect for and reject if:
    1. Vehicle has an auxiliary lamp being used for a purpose other than for which it was approved.
    EXCEPTION: Any lighting device that is both covered and not illuminated, other than lamps required, shall not be considered for inspection. Fog and driving lamps mounted below the level of the regular headlamps must be checked for aim as outlined in subdivisions I 10 i and 11 g of this section if not covered.
    NOTE: The covers shall be a type that would be installed as original equipment and not tape, paper bags, aluminum foil or similar materials per subdivision I 11g (2).
    2. A vehicle has installed on it a warning lamp (DOT or SAE-W) that is not of an approved type or has been altered.
    Reject if the vehicle has wire, unapproved lens or plastic covers, any other materials that are not original equipment or any colored material placed on or in front of any auxiliary lamps: backup, cornering, driving, fog, spot, or warning lamps.
    3. Motor vehicles may be equipped with more than two fog or auxiliary lights; however, only two of these types of lights can be illuminated at any time. Reject a vehicle equipped with a headlamp mounted or used as an auxiliary lamp.
    4. Vehicle is equipped with an auxiliary lamp that does not function properly. (If an auxiliary lamp has been modified by removing the wiring, bulb and socket, the unit will be considered an ornament and not a lamp and will not be considered in inspection.)

    Read more here on lighting and inspection requirements. I had an issue with priority toyota, they wouldn't pass me because of the fog light always on modification.

    It wouldn't even need to be covered if you didn't have factory fogs. Says no more than 4 lights illuminated at the same time facing forward. Would required to be covered if you had fog lights though, because 2+2+1 = 5 :p

    What really matters is how by the book/knowledgeable your state inspector is...mine wouldn't even let me pass with no aftermarket lights. Failed me because my fog lights stay on with my high beams.

    Yeah...next time no more dealership state inspections for me. Even if it is free! Not worth the head ache for only a few bucks. Next time would be even worse with my retro's and halos.

    High school is right next to the sheriffs office and lexington is loaded with state cops. Don't seem to care about my led bar. Lets hope that stays the same when I add a 40 inch bar, a few 6 inch bars, and a few pods. :spy: artificial sun

    Wait so I can run my rigids on the road so long as they're aimed properly and not on while my fogs are on?

    They'd have to be SAE-Y approved lamps (stamped into the lens)

    Also read somewhere else that if they are above the oem headlights they have to be covered on road. Read that on another forum. Check the regulations though, a lot of stuff to sift though. As long as your being responsible not blinding others running lights that are clearly too bright, not aimed properly or a distraction.I don't see a cop going out of his way to make an example of you.....but then again we are in the great fair state of Virginia...
