The center Lights are Hella 4000 Euro Beam, convertered over to HID by yours truly.
The outter lights are Hella Micro Xenon (HID) pencil beam.
There's also a set of high mounted 3"x5'' 55 Watt Brake lights on the back (can't really see them).
The large object is a 12x12 ez-up portable shade. Damn handy when it's 107 degree's out.



I've got some night shots to give you an idea as to how well they work, but those will be coming in a couple of days. I just got back from 4 days camping in Zion National Park, so I gotta get my camping stuff put away and go through all the photos.

Random, is that your new car? Did you think about an STi?

It's a very nice park! Reminds me of those John Wayne movies partner. Post some more photos of your trip.

I thought about the STi, but the OBXT has the same 2.5L Turbo engine mildly detuned (250hp 250 torque), and is more off road capable, and has 4 times the room. Add on some ECU trickery/piggyback and some bolt on's and you're over 350 to all 4 wheels yikes.gif

If Subaru would offer an STi package/engine in the Legacy/Outback body, I would have been all over it. But for some stupid reason, Subaru refuses to bring the Forrester STi and Legacy STi over to the USA. mad.gif punch.gif AR15firing.gif

I've got about 2 gig of photos. They are coming.

Nice looking. I know around here they get on you for having lights like those uncovered during regular driving. Do they hassel you at all with them?

I've got covers for the center 2, but not for the outter 2.

When driving from LA 2 Zion and back I had them covered, but would uncover them for driving around Zion.

I don't keep them on the car around LA (or the roof rack for that matter). The rack takes 1 mpg, the lights and rack take 2.5 mpg, and fully loaded, the lights, rack, and crap on top took 4 mpg.
