Hi Bob (F15)! Hi Folks!

I wonder if they have other purposes?
I would guess their ONLY purpose is so the driver can drive much faster at night with the service drive headlights turned off. If the driver is wearing just about any type of thermal vision devise, those IRs will look just normal headlights to him. As far as it has been reported so far, the bad guys are not using a lot of night vision equipment and they would not be able to pick up a fast moving vehicle running with IR headlights.
My 2 cents on IR headlights.
