Many states prohibit any external lights beyond the usual suspects.
The "standard" is no more than four lights at any time on the front.
It took an act of Congress (not really, but it felt that way) to allow
the HID lights, since they weren't "white". Not that the existing
lights were, but some pedantic types objected.
