    As far as I'm aware since they're "off-road" use only, they must be covered when on a public way. And this is partially because they're higher than the headlights. If they're below they're considered "fog" lights or driving lights.

    Maybe, I just can't find the statute that states that. Can you site one? I thought it might say it here, but doesn't:

    I don't know the candle power of those, but if they qualify as "headlights" and are above 54 inches that's a ding. A29BBEE8-EC93-451C-A254-477B842A3002.jpg

    I'm not entirely positive on this one, but this may also be a reason for failure. D919ACB6-847B-4C28-BC1B-1B8BF1BE8716.jpg

    I'll keep poking around for the off-road light laws.

    Edit: this is the only other topic I could find. For the life of me I can't find the "cover them" rule. :annoyed:5D91DF32-8492-43D8-87B3-E6A4444922F3.jpg

    Sorry to not be of more help. Maybe @Tacoma Mike might have some insight?

    I had LED ditch lights with no covers and a 52” light bar on my wrangler above the windshield and never had an issue getting a sticker for 5 years. I see trucks and jeeps driving around here with them all the damned time with no covers. Throw some duct tape on em for the inspection, he said covered but didnt specify. :rofl:

    Thanks BananaMan. Those are the ones I have found, too. Just don't see any verbiage about a cover.

    They don’t want you to be able to throw 1,000,000 candle power going down the road and blind people.
    I failed trucks every week for TW MODS…

    Big fines for inspectors if caught doing things wrong.
    Loss of license..
    And worse…

    People always go over the top and that’s why the laws are there.
