If you do some research on past GC's I think you'll find at least one of them was around Coro... I remember Blackbird once posting that to get a feel for what's it like ... try doing the Coro loop in the dark.

I have just installed a set of PIAA 55W spots from trademe for $30. being small there is not a lot of distace to them but the extra light is great. A new battery and new tyres and I'm set for the ride.

They were fog but have removed the bracket inside the spot that made it the fog shape spread now they are spotlights but not pencil beam rather more like driving lights
