Maybe wrong cop, wrong day/night? I would run my fogs all the time and never got any trouble for it.

Well, this is California he's talking about... you know, the state that wants to ban Black cars because they get too hot and need to run the air conditioner more... so I bet the stupid law probably has something to do with using "too many" lights and not being "green" enough...

Not mentioned, but no fog switch on a base LS either.

As far as "increasing your visibility" not being ticketable, how bright would you think is too bright that increasing your forward lighting negatively impacts the visibility of oncoming drivers? There is a point where too much forward lighting is bad for the other drivers.

Funny 15 years with my 4th gen and never once was pulled over for having fog lights on or for not having a front plate. Luck I guess. They were more concerned with the speed.

Ok, here is the list.

First car is Thor, Fbodfather's car.

Second car is 296, Mrs. Number 3's Captured Test Fleet Car

Third car is Number 3, our beloved 1LT, my Captured Test Fleet Car

Fourth is the 2SS Black with IO Interior. CTF car I managed for "evaluation purposes" First Automatic I had driven and posted on.

As FenwickHockey65 says, it has been my privilege to drive, evaluate and share with you. Photos are all documented in the Photobucket link in my sig.

BTW can anyone tell me how to change the name of the link to something like oh, click here to get rickrolled? or at least click here for 500 plus Camaro pics in hi-res.

Sure, hit the "Insert link" button at the top. It's the one that's got the globe and chain link thingy on it. Paste the URL into that, then delete the highlighted part that shows up and type whatever you want the link to come up as.

Everything is illegal in California. It is now at the point where it is easier to enumerate all the things that are still legal rather than the things that are illegal.
