Does window location matter?

Designing a set of lights for a quad bike, and it's looking like the window won't be right up against the surface of the optics. Does this matter? I know I'll loose out on a tiny bit of spill, but I'm thinking more in terms of reflection from the window than anything else.

Nope. The only way having the window right up against the optic would improve performance would be if you had an index-matched fluid between the two surfaces.
