Mounting of Fog Lights

• According to Louisiana revised statutes, motor vehicles may have a maximum of two fog lights mounted to the front bumper. These must be mounted between 12 and 30 inches off the ground. When the fog lights are illuminated, they cannot project a beam that, at a distance of 25 feet, is higher than 4 inches from the mounted level.
  
  

Use of Fog Lights

• According to Louisiana revised statute 32:301, fog lights may be illuminated at any time between sunset and sunrise, when there is insufficient natural light or when inclement weather leads to reduced visibility.
