Doesn't matter. My vehicles are registered in NH, and due to work, I am in Maine often.
Any aux. lighting must be turned off while following or when approaching another
vehicle. One of my previous roommates is a police officer in Maine. Heck, she
nearly pulled me over one night because my fogs were on. And I've received a warning
from a Maine Trooper for having them on.
Kind of silly, all things considered. Some states you can't run aux lighting with your
high beams, some you can't run with your low beams, some won't allow more than two
extra forward facing lights. Seems as if the collective DOT's want everyone to stumble
blindly into that good night...

Wonder how that works with out of state tags and Fed DOT approved auxiliary
low beams like my Hella XLs...
