I think what Chuck is looking for is some intelligent opinion based on experience or otherwise, as to why he got that red refection-like splotch in his image on the side of the CNW unit. I looked at this image before, and I do not think that it is a headlight 'ghost' (extra headlight - different than flare), but I could be wrong. It certainly does look like a reflection from one of the red signal elements, but the probability of that lining up must be rare. Other input/opinions?
