Re: Cruisin Lights

[VeeDubJeff@xxxxxxx]

I never said anything about driving with just my parking lights or fog lights
on.  My car looks completely normal.. just a purple tint to the front...my
headlights are on and everything.  I understand what everybody is saying but
people are talking about stuff I didn't even ask about.

 In addition to Brian's response, a reason that driving on parking lights
 (and fog lights, I believe) was made illegal in California is that people=
 
 use light brightness as a gauge of distance to an approaching vehicle -
 especially in twilight.  People driving on parking lights were finding
 themselves in too many accidents - especially the type that result from
 left turns across traffic.  Since said people also involved others in sai=

 accidents, the state stepped in.
 
 I suspect your particular problem has a bit to do with the breadth of the=
