You might want to invest in a illuminated switch for a reminder that you have them on .. On all my Aux eq. I have ''dummy'' lights and they have saved the battery more than once. You can even go one step further and wire it so that if the light goes out your switch will not illuminate.

 

Thanks for the good ideas

 

my theory in having them be yellow ditch lights is that it should hopefully be obvious that they are on - being yellow. 

 

we shall see. :-)

I don't have time to look into this further right now but thought you might want to read through this thread for some background on California laws regarding off-road and auxiliary lighting.  It's an older thread so I'm wondering if there's other, more recent info out there on it but don't have time to look.

For me, the point is that current law on the subject would likely contain details on measurements, number of lights, placement of lights, switching requirements,  operation with low or high beam, etc.

The old wording of the off-road light section allowed for a covered switch in place of a covered off-road light. Lights that I use on pavement are ALWAYS "Auxiliary Passing Lights."
