The only way to be legal EVERYWHERE is to have the lights wired so that
they can not be used independently of the headlights with a switch to turn
off the fog lights. This may be more than you need but beats having to deal
with a hipo in a bad mood. It is also a good idea to add a relay and some 
fuses to the system. What makes a fog light is the fluting on the lens not
the color. A fog lens throws a wide low beam almost 180 degrees wide. A driving
light will put out a beam with sharp cutoff to the left. A pencil beam, 
illegal to use on the highway, is produced by a lens with no fluting. Help
prevent blindness, aim your lights. For driving and high beams, with a wall
twenty feet from the lights the hot spot should be one inch down and two to 
the right from the straight ahead point. For fogs I don't know.
