Eric,
Tell him to drive out of town? city? to the country where he wont have any 
"city night lights !"

It can't get any simpler than that.

Other than your suggestion of "pellet gun!" I don't recommend that as a 
solution either. And covering it could also get him in trouble with "city 
bylaw" folks also.

Besides out in the country eliminates in many cases the city "air polution" 
which scatters city lights through the atmosphere.
