    Front side / back side mate-up? If there’s enough room between the light opening and the lights for the magnet on the backside.

    Should’ve been more specific, cover to stick on light bar itself and not the rack.

    Where are you guys getting pulled over at?

    I have lived in California my whole life and never had this problem. I could see the people running the single LED bar, but behind the fairing would be tough as long as it is not running 24/7.

    I live in Reno, but most of my out of town driving is up and down 395. A friend here is an NHP motorcycle cop, and while he did say he wouldn't bother to pull anyone over for it, he would definitely add it on to any other violation that he did pull you over for. (Fine and fees, that would add about $250 to the existing ticket).

    Also, Light bars are usually aluminum too, so the magnet idea is out, unless you wanted to put some steel rivets through the fairing to support a magnetic strip. That's why I was thinking J hooks or a channel. CaliRaised answer works, I just hate the knurled knob look they use.

    Illegal to run with them uncovered, on or off. That’s the 1st half of the issue. Second half is the cops have discovered another revenue stream.

    That’s simply stupid. And I live in a state known for “unusual” regulations. Time to vote in someone.

    Man...that is sad AF. Can't believe that someone had came up with that idea and people in power would make that a law and then someone with authority would add that to your traffic violation(s).

    So if a person has multiple light bars/pods, do they all have to be cover up?

    Does that law applies to people that are non-resident of Nevada?

    Pretty sure we also have that law in Illinois. It's never enforced by local law enforcement though. It's a law that's been on the books since the days of the KC Masterlights.

    In defence of the law, getting blinded by a coal roller that has his in grill light bar pointed at head height isnt exactly an enjoyable experience.

    @upTOPoverland...Do you guys have an estimated time frame release date on your snorkel? Like for example: 3rd quarter or November?....
