I have my car set up the same way. I tried blocking at night and it was a big no no. I would see the bleed from the 2nd amber and turn lose.....

Re: Amber lights in cars pointed at the tree at Vegas
maybe it is just the glow from the Vegas Strip that is affecting some drivers.

Re: Amber lights in cars pointed at the tree at Vegas
Theyve been around, I noticed Charlie Taylor using the marker lights back in the late '80s or so, Jeff does real well with them. Simple and effective for some, I simply cant blind at night but it does help at dusk or when a track has flood lights on the tree. LED's have helped everyone I believe.

Re: Amber lights in cars pointed at the tree at Vegas
Vegas shields need to be extended. We had the same issue first round and almost got bit. A simple old bracket trick from the 70's (Hammer). I have noticed also that some tracks do not align the LED lamps so the driver does not see them consistantly.

Re: Amber lights in cars pointed at the tree at Vegas
Hugh is right. They've been around for long time. I thnk they even talked about it in the 80's or early 90's on an NHRA TV show.
