TYPICAL TRAFFIC STOP SCENARIO
JEEP : My wires aren't even plugged in to the light bar....
OFFICER: It's not just lights from the the lightbar, it's the reflection from the sun and other oncoming lights that the reflectors from your light bar shines back at oncoming vehicles
JEEP: What....??? #$#$%*!!!
Light Bar Covers?
Why? should I cover my light bar you ask, well there are many reasons. First you want to be compliant with your local laws, for instance here in California section 24411 Vehicle code states that"
24411vc. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a vehicle may be
equipped with not more than eight lamps for use as headlamps while
the vehicle is operated or driven off the highway. The lamps shall be
mounted at a height of not less than 16 inches from the ground, or
more than 12 inches above the top of the passenger compartment, at
any place between the front of the vehicle and a line lying on a
point 40 inches to the rear of the seat occupied by the driver, shall
be wired independently of all other lighting circuits, and, whenever
the vehicle is operated or driven upon a highway, shall be covered
or hooded with an opaque hood or cover, and turned off.
Second, a cover will protect your investment, We all know how much we spent on these light bars. Our covers are made of UV resistant Marine vinyl and outdoor threads. Our covers also have a liner of impact foam to further protect your light from flying debris and other highway hazards. Our covers protect your light bar from fading, yellowing and hazing. Just look at a headlight from a car from the 90's, that's what the sun will do over time.
Third. Our covers just look good!. We custom make every cover to your individual vehicle and better yet they are handmade right here in the USA with all local products. We have just added custom lettering that we can put on our covers. Just ask one of our representatives.
Lastly, its peace of mind AND ITS THE LAW IN SOME STATES. Why ask for trouble?
