Re: Lights, and night racing.

I found a pair of 'truck driving lights' at Kragen for $22.
Swapped out the 55wt bulbs for 100wt at $5 each.

I'll get another set-up tomorrow.
Nice wide beam.


Any chance we'll have a light aiming party at RF Friday night?

I found that made a huge difference on both my Hellas and IPF off-road driving lights.

Light aiming party (with liquid gummy bears) sounds like a great/horrible idea.

They do help glare - Those crappy-assed Kmart Blue light specials on other cars (Diamond white, faux HID, poorly aimed HID, Chinese HID, etc) really screw with your focus and eyestrain, and the amber/yellow REALLY helps.

Yes, they do filter a percentage of light - so if the glare doesn't affect you they are not worth it.

So what you're telling me is 'Buy one before the SA2005's disappear' (My brain bucket was discontinued at SA2010, and its replacement's shields are subtly different shape).
