I have one big problem when MIG welding. I use a helmet with an auto-darkening lens. While welding, I can't see the path I'm suppose to take when running a bead. I see the bright glare of the arc but ouside of that it's pitch black. Inevitably I go off track, even short runs. Example:

2. Shine more light on the work but seems kinda dumb when the glare of the arc is so damn intense anyway.
Any hints?
