Got any links to documentation on this? California Vehicle Code shows no
reference whatsoever to height with regard to reflective material. The only
stipulation is that the sum total of everything on the back that reflects
"perceptible light of 0.05 candela or more per foot-candle of incident
illumination" must be "predominately red". So long as his tail lights
provide 51% of the reflected light, he should be OK. No rules on position or
proximity to one another, so far as I've seen.
