I stand corrected - from the 2015 CA vehicle code directly - I was looking at the foglight section earlier when i mis-spoke.
"A vehicle shall also be equipped with an amber reflector
on the front near the left side and a red reflector on the rear
near the left side. The reflectors shall be mounted on the
vehicle not lower than 16 inches nor higher than 60 inches
above the ground and so designed and maintained as to be
visible during darkness from all distances within 500 feet from
the vehicle when directly in front of a motor vehicle displaying
lawful lighted headlamps undimmed."
