its a non-moving violation (an equiptment violation)
the general violation that we (cops) write is 39:3-66 : maintenence of lamps... which states that all required lights on the vehicle must be in working order and free from obstruction (dirt, covers, vht, colored film) etc
there are a lot of other light related violations, like impropr use of aux lights (fog lights on when there is no fog), improper color of lamps (blue tinted, green, etc), headlights required with wipers on, and others
but the "cover all" statute for lights is 39;3-66.. its NO points, and depending on the jurisdiction, approc $54 fine .. i got it a few times...but not anymore
