If they are "Off Road Lights" they must be covered when on the road or you risk the chance of being fined. That is why the old "K.C. Lights" on the roll bars had covers on them.
Cool. I suspected as much
Any inexpensive generic covers that won’t blow off on the road?
The cheap lights I am considering don’t have covers as an option.
Little bags with a drawstring? Or ...?
Must be a clever cheap option ......Hmmmmm
:-/
Thanks all. :-)
Suspected what? That schlep is now the driving light nanny?
You have zero to worry about having any lights mounted to your rig.
When's the last time either of you seen or heard of any of the millions of people with "off road" lights being pulled over because their lights didn't have covers?
Some folks need to find other things to worry about....
LA, find whatever lights suit your fancy and use them. Although "cheap" lights are CHEAP. Personally I wouldn't cobble some junk to the front of my nice brand new pickup with nice brand new camper.
I'd get a decent quality LED light bar or pods and mount it/them in a professional looking manor.
And if you think the lights draw too much for the switch, don't use one switch for each light. Wire them to a relay. (But I'm sure you can run a couple of those little LEDs off of one switch with no issue.)
Driving Light Nanny? So you brag about getting tickets and being a wiseguy when pulled over for breaking the law. So I'll give you the difference between you and me. If extra lights are illegal, (See my second post above referencing the California Vehicle Code) I won't put them on my vehicle. I won't be pulled over and "harassed" for being dumb enough to voluntarily break the law. And I won't be the guy badmouthing the people paid to keep law and order and uphold even the little laws that some "better than everybody else" people think they know better about.
I answered the original posters question and backed it up with a link to the actual Vehicle code. Break all the laws you are willing to pay the fines for. Don't tell others they can do whatever they want because you don't care about the consequences and nothing is ever your fault.
