Delaware aftermarket light laws?

    I was wondering what the laws were concerning aftermarket offroad lights. Do they have to be covered? Can they be some places uncovered? ...etc. Any help would be greatly apreciated.

    Here's the code:


    § 4346. Spot lamps and auxiliary lamps.


    (a) Spot lamps. -- Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not to exceed 2 spot lamps, and every lighted spot lamp shall be so aimed and used upon approaching another vehicle that no part of the high intensity portion of the beam will be directed to the left of the prolongation of the extreme left side of the vehicle nor more than 100 feet ahead of the vehicle.


    (b) Fog lamps. -- Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not to exceed 2 fog lamps mounted on the front at a height not less than 12 inches nor more than 30 inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands and so aimed that when the vehicle is not loaded none of the high intensity portion of the light to the left of the center of the vehicle shall at a distance of 25 feet ahead project higher than a level of 4 inches below the level of the center of the lamp from which it comes. Lighted fog lamps meeting the above requirements may be used with lower head lamp beams as specified in § 4349 of this title.


    (c) Auxiliary passing lamp. -- Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not to exceed 1 auxiliary passing lamp mounted on the front at a height not less than 24 inches nor more than 42 inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands. Section 4349 of this title shall apply to any combination of head lamps and auxiliary passing lamps.


    (d) Auxiliary driving lamp. -- Any motor vehicle may be equipped with not to exceed 1 auxiliary driving lamp mounted on the front at a height not less than 16 inches nor more than 42 inches above the level surface upon which the vehicle stands. Section 4349 of this title shall apply to any combination of head lamps and auxiliary driving lamps. (21 Del. C. 1953, § 4346; 50 Del. Laws, c. 292, § 1.)

    basically, if your lights meet those requirements, they are fine. otherwise, they have to be covered. meaning, you can have 26 lights on your roof, as long as they are all covered.

    so two spots on the hood and two spots on the windsheild hinges... they all have to be covered, or only two out of the four have to be covered?


    Pretty sure anything mounted HIGHER than the headlights will have to be covered.


    As is always said it's going to depend on the inspector.

    DMV always checks out my PIAA Cystal ION Fogs. Never had trouble but they definitely examined them carefully

    Are people getting hassled while running them on the road without coveres, or is it just necisary for the inspection lanes?


    I drove my TJ with window mounted KC daylighters uncovered, never been stopped. DE,MD, and PA. But that don't mean much. It all depends on the cops and the day they are having.
