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?
