No. Is Not about Regulation or State Inspection.
90+% of Aftermarket "Fog" or "Driving" lights are just Labels to sell Compete Crap that blinds other drivers. This has been True for Decades and now including most LEDs kits.
Any Blinding lights, "Dead" Lights for any reason or Drive w/ OEM or Aftermarket "Fog" or "Driving" lights w/o LB HL in many states including NJ is easy Ticked for many Cops regardless of what or how old a vehicle is or registered as antique etc. Many states have laws/rules for "Rally" and other lights too.
If the cops Stops and Write Only for those cases, are often an "Equipment" Violation w/ Fines and in some States means Points too.
Just because you got away w/ those problems for months to years, next time you drive you start gambling again when Cops stop you or a blind driver hits you. In the later case, good luck dealing w/ Insurance Co. etc for car w/ crap "updates." More so now when more people have Dash Cam's sending Video to I-co and Cops capturing a crash.

My lights came from Projector Retrofit. Too bad he stopped production. They're quite nice. Have been on the car for years.
With halogen lamps, and the appropriate projectors, the light has a very sharp cutoff to the upper left, so as to not blind oncoming drivers. In all the years I've been driving with them. I've only been "bright lighted" once. And that was on a twisty road, where I couldn't help shining into the other lane.
Sluppy123 is now doing a very similar, but different, setup.
