Illegal fog lights?

Does your Mitsubishi L300 make a strange noise? Need wheel alignment specs?

Fog lamps are illegal in some jurisdictions, including Quebec (at least when I left).

I wouldn't worry so much about what people tell you is illegal and instead focus on doing what is sensible. The fog lamps make it much easier to make out the road surface and provide good fill for the low beams at night. Just make sure to aim them properly.

Also, as a sidebar, I found out that most of the reason that the headlights suck on L300's is because of the bull bar. When I removed mine the lights no longer seem inadequate. Totally didn't expect that but it does make sense.

The whole vehicle is illegal in Quebec, so I don't really think the question of it having fog lamps is really of issue.
