Can't remember whether this has been raised before, but a really anoraky question about the lighting setup on the Computervision cars, prompted by the pics on the Irish forum that David linked to...

Looking at the pics, the Computervision cars had the normal rectangular SD1 headlights replaced by paired round ones (Did production SD1s for the USA have twin round lights?), supplemented by 4 spots in various configurations, depending on the event. Oddly enough, the two cars on the Manx both reverted to the standard SD1 headlights. Any idea why?

Additionally, a small observation based on the pics- Looking at the spotlamp covers on the cars, the team used Cibie lamps- except for Stuart's car on the Manx and RAC which appear to have used Lucas.

Driver preference, or did Stuart have a personal sponsorship deal that caused the change?
