Narrow light / eyed Baja
The narrow light Baja seems less common than the wide light version. Is there any reason for this ? I see Custom off road and Fibre Fab have wide
light kits for sale, yet not a narrow light one available any where in Aus.
Is this a regulatoy thing ? light spacing, etc....?

Thats probably why my bug eye kit had no headlights in the nose cone and only them in the cut down beetle guards.
So this rule must of been passed in the 50's as for the morris minor. I can see why cause a motorist would think it was a bike rather than a Baja
lol. Anyhow the bug eye kit is still legal in USA????
Cheers Will.

mines a bug eye, but i have buggy lights mounted on the bar work.
