GREAT ... I bet you made the night into day

It sounds from your description your really looking for light being thrown low to the ground ... like longer range FOGs. Sounds like you got what you want.

Now you need some 5 degree pencil beams. Mount them on the Roof like the Original Rally MINI light!!!

Stop giving me ideas they will end up costing me another grand that I don't need to be spending on my car.

Also while I was down there I was talking to killboy and he said I should paint the scoop red and change my plate to rudolph.. I thought that was cute. To bad he didn't stay to see Lucy light up the road. He should have a couple good shots this week too he took a whole bunch.

    Why don't you replace the bulbs with infrared bulbs and get a set of night vision goggles to complete your black stealth look!

    I've always thought the factory roof basket would make a great mount for some roof lights! Joe the Dentist was working on a roof mount using some Thule cross bars but I don't think he ever finished it did he?

    Whoa, wrong definition of enabler. Dictionary is useless.

    In a business process, an enabler is a process the "helps" or "enables" the main processes. For example, of your main business was to Build Widgets, an enabler would be an architect that designed the widgets

    Just think of my as the "idea guy", one who enables by bringing forth the ideas that come to fruition

    Forget the red scoop dude, get some of those PIAA mini driving lights and you can stick four inside that scoop easy. It might block a little bit of air flow but like Battle says, air flow is not an issue

    OK, he can paint it red AFTER the PIAA minilights go in!

    You need a set of 4 HID's on the roof top bar

    Since they only draw 35 watts each
