please tell me about lights? (Page 2 of 2)

Hellas I think are quite sensitive to the beam pattern that you buy (they have three or four options) and being aimed correctly.  I've had no issues driving with four Hellas, but I've always known the track well by the time I did night laps.

More stupid chump rules. Nobody should be surprised.

For beam pattern, my opinion is that you want basically a pencil beam, straight out in front with minimal spread for the two driving lights, and if you're using fogs for the cornering beams (at a 45 degree angle) you should be just fine.

(I will keep talking to myself)

So, they guys on the lights/flashlights forum have mentioned that it's good if both beams are projectors, not reflectors. The only car in the yard with both projectors was infinity j30, but the headlights were damaged.

My second choice was anything with two separate bulbs instead of a combined bulb (I am not sure why I want that. Are both beams on at the same time, or is it only the hi-beams in the hi-beams mode? My idea was to run both beams at the same time) and a real glass - looks like only these stay clear by the time they reach the yards.

The most common car with glass headlight - 1990–1993 Honda Accord, but the headlight assembly is too large if you grab the whole thing including adjustment hardware, and the mounting points are really odd. It would be a pain to mount it anywhere not stock.

My final choice was 850 Volvo. First of all, it's turbo charged, we can always use a couple extra HP. There is a build-in level and the mounting pattern is a blessing - just three bolts in the same plane. Real glass.

You can usually clean the haze off the plastic lenses with normal rubbing compound.  I would recommend protecting either glass or plastic lenses with the clear plastic paint protection film.

I had good luck with the BMW e34 low beam projector housings with HIDs inside.

Apex lights are incredibly important.   we use 2 low beam apex lights and two low beam forward pointing lights.
