We were down in Mexico a couple of weeks ago watching the Baja 1000 and saw
these Hellas are the lights of choice of the high dollar teams. I saw one
truck with 9 of them on it. Another truck had 8 of them and he broke down
close to us late in the night. We were talking with him and looking the
truck over and saw that 2 of them had broken off of the bumper. They are
probably laying around down there somewhere in the weeds or duct taped onto
some Mexicans pickup (the mounting bolts and part of the lights were still
on the bumper).
