    lightweight headlights

    In the constant effort to remove weight in the track e30 I am helping out with, what is the lightest headlight setup? The stock lights weigh 4lb. Anyone know of polycarbonate versions of the 5-3/4" lights?

            Run some velocity stacks for maximum weight savings + HP gainz.

                  I filled my taillights with water for improved weight bias.

                      I added a lukebox for better weight dist. Its right over the rear wheels for more traction!
