    Here are some road course videos. They are kind of long and not full of action but you get a feel for what the course was like. The last video is one of my faster sessions as I was getting comfortable with pushing the car more. Unfortunately, my gopro ran out of juice before my fastest runs of the day.

    Any idea what causes the headlights to stick out versus the factory bulbs? Also, do you purposely have them angled up higher?

    Its just the lens design. I do not know why they felt the need to build it that way.

    Aerodynamics. Helps get the air up over the hood... J/K:shocked:... They are not angled up. They just look that way because they stick out that little bit extra. I actually angled one side down more when I installed them to correct the alignment from the other bulbs.
