Any old promotor drivers around

Apologies if I have put this in the wrong thread but I was looking on Topruns forum and the latest batch of excellent pics are of, mainly Friderici lorries on the Me/Pakistan run. One of the pics, shows a driver stood next to a Kenworth with no headlights or fog lights and the caption says he has removed them to avoid problems with Saudi customs.
Whats that all about ?
