H4s, whats legal and whats not

["A. Bjorkheim" <andreb@u.washington.edu>]

  I can only speak for Washington.  A friend of a friend is a State
Trooper and he tells me H4s are legal, any headlights other than
white headlights are illegal, including yellow.  You cannot have more
than 4 high intensity bulbs on at any time.

   I agree, the Hella Euros for our cars arent legal on public roads.

> every time I see H4 lights for sale, they are labeled "for off road use
> only"

   The 55/60w are legal and arent relegated to off-road use, at least in 
   Washington.

> Rules for fog lights are different than headlights.

   Yuppers, you can have yellow fog/driving lights, but the so called
   "bullet-lights" as he calls them (small high intense bluish lights)
   are illegal.
