I noticed in this pic that the internals of the lights look off-center. Is it just the pic or are they like that? If so what kind of light pattern do they give off.

Kinda looks like they would be cross eyed..... Any thoughts?

Headlight housings in most new cars now house multiple lights (low beam, high beam, and sometimes a corner/parking/marker light) all within a single housing. However, each light has it's own reflector housing that's separated from the other bulbs, essentially making it an individual light w/ individual housing. to place all the separate lights in one housing, they offset them to fit. It doesn't matter their placement w/in the main headlight housing, only that their individual reflector housings are designed correctly. HTH.

 

bhcvc,
Thanks for the reply..... I got that part. The question is about the rally lights in that pic. If you notice the internals look to be set toward the outside of the car. I was just curious if this was the pic or if they were really like that.

BTW.... I really like the Head lights of the MINI!!

It looks to me like from the reflection in the lights that they are pointing out. They are most likely like that because the heatlights of the car are pointed inside, so the rally lights provide extra luminace. No need to light up something that is already lit.

 

its the refraction from the curvature of the lenses that makes them look off center. Speaking of rally lights. Within a week we will be offering lighting options on our site in the lighting section.
