Default Anyone here with HID's been pulled over?

Just wondering guys I have HID lows and fogs installed with the 6k temperature on the Ram. Um has anyone else gotten pulled over. Some cop pulled me over tonight and was giving me a helluva time about it all. I didn't get a ticket but he was really just trying to push my buttons about it all. Like he asked why I drive with the lower lights (my fog lights at least that's what I call them) on all the time. I told him I don't really have a reason it's just something I always did on every car i've owned. I was like yea I always drive with the fogs on. And he corrected me and went on a rant about fog lights are yellow what I have are driving lights, I just told him well I guess take it up with chrysler because my window sticker says fog lights so that's what I call them. but I was just wondering has anyone else had any issues with this I wasn't doing anything else stupid this guy tailed me for awhile waiting for me to do something before he pulled me over.

Ive never had any issues but the fogs are much brighter than the headlights. Well, they arent brighter but because of how the light outout is they will blind people more than the headlights will.

the cop just hadn't got his doughnut yet that day. he was looking for a reason to pull you over, he had nothing else to do.

Maybe he had gas and needed to get out of the car and fart for a while? Figured he might as well bust your stones while he was busting some chunks....

I suppose if you are within 20-30ft and look directly into the fogs they can be bright, but they certainly in no way can possibly blind anyone! The fogs are pointed at the ground. At least mine are. About 25ft from the truck the beams are on the ground! How can this possibly blind anyone?
Putting HID's in the halogen headlights will blind people waaaay more than HID's in the fogs.

Cops around here do the paper trick. if your headlights are blue from halogen bulbs you can get a ticket. if they are blue from HID's you won't. How little sense does that make? They have no idea.
