Are clear (white) halo fog lights legal? I am thinking about replacing my stock fog lights with clear halos. I did some searching but didnt come up with much. Is this legal? I know blue and red are illegal but BMW's have white. I am not worried about inspection, just getting pulled over by the cops.

Yes! I am usure of other states. But coming from a friend of mine's father who is a Harford County Sherriff... "Halo lights are legal in Maryland as long as they are WHITE and DOT certified." They can not be red, blue, yellow, orange or green. If you do not buy the conversion kit in order to have a cut off line for the lights, they will shine in windows of other drivers and this is ILLEGAL. But Halo lights themselves as long as they are purchased with a conversion kit, have a clean cut off line below other drivers windows and are white, they ARE LEGAL in the state of Maryland. I searched all over the internet to find this answer and did not find anything. So I resorted to asking someone who knows a cop personally and this is what he himself told me. Therefore, I can spend $300 on my new lights and not have to worry about someone making me take them off!

DDMTuning.com is a great place to buy an HID kit for our f-body's. Great pricing too.
Ive got a friend using 10000k HID's (very blue color) on his Silverado. Says he's never had a problem with any cops about the lights, only has problems passing inspections at certain places because of the lights. Another friend just got himself 12000k (Purple) HIDs for his mustang. I havent heard about him being pulled over for them either. Not to mention alot of cars/trucks i see driving around with atleast 8000k bulbs (starting of the blue color) & higher.
I will say this, ive seen 2 trucks driving around with what looks like "red" bulbs in there turn signals for months now. When i see them coming, that isnt a "orange" color, it really comes off red and i dont think the cops have done **** to them. I guess it just depends on whether the cops are going to be after you for everything or for bigger reasons then that.

I've been running red led signals and driving lights up front for over a year now and have never had any issues with cops. I also have 10,000K HID's in my truck, never had an issue either. Only light-related thing I've been pulled over for was blue led driving lights back in my younger foolish days.
OP - You wont have any issues with white halo's, they're perfectly legal. If you're absolutely paranoid about them for whatever reason it would be easy enough to wire up a little switch for them anyways
