California vehicle code says that any lights which are higher than standard
headlights (there's some magic number of inches from the road) need
the covers.  Matter of fact, the ones on truck rollbars MUST:

	a. Be wired thru a dedicated fuse;
	b. Have a dedicated switch;

When driving on public roads:
	    1. The fuse must be OUT of the holder;
	    2. The lights must be covered;
	    3. The switch must be off (just in case).

Simply driving on a public road without the covers is reason for a ticket,
because we don't want to chance blinding oncoming traffic...
