Entering the night, the two 5.7L vehicles had no issues lighting their path. Team 8155, Canguro Racing hit the switch on the eight ARB Intensity LEDs and soldiered on. Meanwhile, Team 8199, TRDPro uses more traditional Hella HID lighting. Both are effective in piercing the total blackout of the Baja night.
