Oversize driving lamps work on everything

I need to buy about four rally cars to use this stock up.

I Saw this a while back and it popped up again, so I guess it fits here.

Seems a bit over the top...

Dekotora. The amount of stuff is correct.

I only see enough for one car.

Don't forget the yellow for DEPTH OF FIELD

They work on Datsun very well. I would always win night autocross events.

I think some of those would go nicely on a certain challenge car. 

Way back when I may have mentioned my first car was a '74 Corolla similar to your challenge car.  Sadly it was a 4 door with a 2TC and a 2 speed (!) automatic but it was mine and I drove the wheels off of it for 4 years and sold it it for quite a bit more than I had paid for it.  And yes, it had a set of yellow fog lights that I installed hanging under the front bumper as was the style in the day.  

Unpopular opinion...

The Hella 500s look cool but the light pattern sucks if you enjoy cornering.

I had a pair for night rallycrosses, and I installed them cross-eyed so they would throw light into the corner while the car was crossed up.  They still sucked.

Editing a video from IMSA testing at Daytona last weekend and found this shot. Yup they even work on a Taylor-Dunn. 

It’s perfect.

When I was a kid I always thought a proper car was not complete without some driving lights. 

Don't forget to gear up the tow rig for those early morning/late night drives to/from the track...

There is a set of Hella driving lamps ($6)going on the Challenge Corolla. It gets real dark after the finish line in Gainesville.

That's why the Jeep ended up with 4 lights on it.  The IPF 968s are a wider pattern than the Euro / driving beam Hellas.  And they're angled slightly outward.  Better light around corners and better view of deer approaching the side of the road in open fields. 

I met my step-mom over the weekend and she gave me a couple cameras and some photo albums.  My dad passed away last year, she's moving, we weren't close.

Along with family stuff she included a couple photos of the car that got me into the SCCA as an adult.  His 1974 Opel Manta Rally with the big Cibie lights on the front.

Not much compared to many Landys..
