The placement and aiming of all lights -- be they H1/H3, HID or LED -- is critically important and must abide by all ChumpCar rules. Blinding lights will not be tolerated. Overall, lighting brightness and the focal aiming of all lighting will become a "judgment call" on the part of race officials and corner workers. 9.7.6.
