Jim, if it's "unsafe to drive after dark", then the answer is "Light up the whole damn world like it's daylight!"
Way back when, there always seemed to be an unspoken rule in town that you wanted the biggest, brightest, Bad-ass'est lights you could hang on your bumper without getting in trouble with the local Constabulary.
Johnny Clark, who has shown up on the Facebook Speedster Owners page if he responds to one of my posts (he's a FB friend), had a very stout 356 C coupe with some really big Cibies out front that drew the eye of Police Chief Hank McNamara, questioning if they were "legal".
Johnny took him for a ride at night and they impressed him - So much so, that the Chief put a smaller set on his personal police cruiser (Hank was cool before "Cool" was cool). We never had trouble in town after.
Johnny eventually became the Service Manager at Al Alden's Porsche Audi in south Burlington, Vermont and retired a few years ago. He raced something his whole life - Now he's racing his Kubota tractor around his farm up there.
