LoL, yeah I hit parts that I don't have time to get out and take covers off. I use them so I don't hit any big game like bear/moose/Bigfoot lol. I can be on public roads that have no ppl on them. Then boom branch off on some back road and pass someone turn them off till they pass, then back on public no one around. so it would be to much off a pain in the a$$. This is a video off the front of my house, just one of hundreds so I love my lights..lol

No need (other than the perceived "tacticool factor") to run off road lights on public roads. If your headlights don't cut it, properly aim them.

The only time I use mine is on the trails at night and I have HID headlights to boot. Mine are setup to turn on 2 at a time for the 3 front sets and one switch for the rear backup/work lights.
The backup lights have been one of the best improvements I've made. I showed the first time I had to back down a narrow forest service road (huge tree across the road) winding through the trees downhill for about a 1/4mi.

My lights point more in the ditch then down the road so I can see any thing about to jump out. Lots of ppl up here don't have covers, its to much of a pain to get out just to take covers off our lights.
We use our lights a lot up here to see big game, we are in the dark for about 18 hours a day in the winter. Please don't get me wrong I don't drive around with lights on when other ppl around, just on the back wood roads, or when no one is around. But if you are willing to drive around with me and every time I need lights you can jump out and take them off for me. But the first time its -25/pitch black and to dangerous to get out of the jeep to take the covers off hmm
To the OP If you don't have to use your lights like I do. Then just cover them up, no point on having them uncovered. I think they look good covered, look at Fred/N0AZZ jeep I think his jeep looks good with covers.
