Q about the Xenon taillight covers

Are they road legal? The California Mustang website warns about them:
May not be legal for highway use in some states.
I know several people on TMS have installed them, I was just curious whether they ever had any problems with the police.
The main advantage I see in them is that they're removable, e.g. when I have to go to the technical inspection, whereas the Moss slotted covers are held on with 3M tape.

Here's what I'm talking about:

Are you kidding? Can't you do anything and everything in Holland?!?!? Or is that just in Amsterdam?

The reason these are illegal here in CA, is because the bottom portion of each tail light has a reflector. You cannot cover the reflectors here in CA.

I still run them anyways.

The only problem I have had is the drivers side hits the trunk on the top and side. Police dont say much around here.

I have them and the lights can be easily seen through them (i.e. brake, signals) and if you got pulled over you could just say you forgot to take them off and they come off in 30 secs..
