indoor boxes ok in a carport?

Hello,

I'm hooking up some lights on the ceiling of a carport. The boxes are going to be surface mounted as I don't wish to break the stucco. Are indoor boxes ok by code here? I'm in CA and the worst we have is rain + wind but even then the rain will never hit these ceiling boxes. But if code is to use outdoor boxes I will.

By the way, I contacted our local building dept. and they said "it depends" but would not provide clarification.

Thanks for any help on this.
