Mr. Brightside

What’s that thing on the windshield?

Well, it’s not a tumor. It’s the Visualeyes Rayzer auxiliary light from Sweden.

Aren’t the stock headlights adequate?

The Rayzer gives you an extra set of high-beams, and the wide-angle projection, the high mounting point, and the ultrabright xenon bulbs provide far more illumination than the standard lights. The unit hooks onto a fixed bracket so you can remove it or switch it from car to car (if you buy an extra bracket and power source). It plugs into a 12-volt socket in the car, or a professional installer can wire it directly. Either way, the Rayzer connects to the vehicle’s wiring to operate in conjunction with its stock high-beams.

Does it work?

You bet. The high mounting point and intense bulbs light up the road likea nuclear flash. We drove by an old guy on the sidewalk who was shieldinghis eyes. You should be more courteous and also check your local lawson auxiliary lights.

How much, and how do I get it?

$995; 212-446-6765; www.rayzerwidebeams.com

If the Glove Fits

What do we have here?

The Mechanix Glove Light. It’s a standard Mechanix glove, which we’ve always liked for the way it protects hands without sacrificing dexterity and feel, with an LED light next to the index finger.
