The SA grill comes with the two smaller inner H1 lights, which I've heard variously called "driving lights", "city lights", and "running lights". The outer 7" round lights (and their required mounting buckets) usually have to be procured separately when you get the SA grill (busdepot SA grill comes with two outer lights, but not their buckets). Now, the thing I'M looking for is outer-type 7" lights that have a small bulb inset in the top part of the reflector, separate from the hi-lo bulb; they appear to be common in some european countries. This small bulb comes on with the parking lights and shines almost straight down and basically just makes the headlights light up about as bright as the parking lights. I understand, though, that they're be plenty bright enough to follow a 5mph campground access road at midnight. Having formerly been a tent camper, I generally feel guilty about circling a campground with my headlights on, illuminating every tent along the way. John Bange '90 Vanagon "Geldsauger" |
