Perhaps the strain of blobbing is getting to you  :-)

I came up with this:


#declare rearlights = blob{threshold 1
  sphere { <0, 0, 0>, StrengthVal, 20
         scale <.3,1.4,1.8>/1.33 rotate <0,30,40> translate <8.5,.4,-3>}
  sphere { <0, 0, 0>, StrengthVal, 20
         scale <.3,1.4,1.8>/1.33 rotate <0,-30,40>  translate <8.5,.4,3>}
  sphere { <0, 0, 0>, StrengthVal, -20
         scale <3,2,1> rotate <10,30,60>  translate <8.5,3,-4>}
  sphere { <0, 0, 0>, StrengthVal, -20
         scale <3,2,1> rotate <-10,-30,60>  translate <8.5,3,4>}
                           }

It just looked to me like you were using very nonsymmetrical numbers in
there so I just symmetried (?) them into what looked good to me.  You'll no
doubt need to go back into it yourself and adjust again.

The car is coming along nicely.
