Hella Rallye 4000 driving lamps as aux headlighting?
For some reason I couldn't post this in the electrical forum- not sure why. So I came here.
Anyway- Is anybody familiar with Hella's line of Rallye 4000 driving lights? Particularly the compact xenon variety?
I'm lookin for a couple lights to mountto supplement my stock headlight on my night train cuz ridin at night with that thing SUX. I cant see to the sides of the road AT ALL. So I foundRallye 4000 series auxiliary lights on a Hella website and the CompactBlack Xenon model looks like it would work pretty slick on my frontend.
The problem is, I can't seem to find anyone with actual experience with the lights to be able to recommend which model would best suit my need- highway or two lane night driving. Some models are 'euro beam' or 'pencil beam' and I don't know what those terms mean. I need a good spread of light from whichever model lamp I use, and of course need to know if they run on the typical 12 volt neg ground. Since they're made in Europe i cant seem to find any answers.
I tried looking for 'Rallye 4000' on Ebay and sawseveral different models spec'd for what looked like different applications (focused beam, euro beam, cornering, etc etc.)so I need to know which would be best to go after.
I guess my next step if no one here can help would be to try an actual Rally driving forum or ATV forum.
Anyone that might be able tohelp I appreciate it.

I can't help you with the rally lights. Try this in the mean time, go to an autoparts store and get a Sylvania "Silverstar" bulb H4ST. I used to run my high beam all the time, now I very rarely use it. My bike and a Nightrain are very similar. Best $10 bucks you will ever spend.

I have E-code lights on my Porsche.E-code casts a lower, wider beam that sweeps up to the right! Imagine...
Takea circle. Draw a line from the 9 o'clock to the center. Draw another line from the 2 o'clock to the center. Remove that portion from the 9 - 2o'clock wedge. That which remains is your E-code coverage. MUCH better than the USA standard. Couple that with 90/100 watt bulbs and you can see what's happening in front of you (and off the the right side) without blinding oncoming drivers. BTW... my lights are the old circular style and I've been wondering about doing E-code for the primary headlight on the bike. Wonder how that'd work???
The difference is that the lens of the headlight housing is ground for the optics with the E-code.
