Headlight upgrade: You Gotta Remember this - Gregory OConnor - 01-01-2006 06:40
If your lights get too bright, or the beam shines too high. The lights
may look like 'high beams' to oncomming traffic. When you get a
curtious on-off blink, blink from oncomming traffic you know you are
in danger because the guy blinking at you is sight impared and about to
pass you oncomming at a 100 mph (you 70mph clear sight ,him 30mph
impared sight) impact speed. If you get a oncomming driver that lacks
reason and is fearless because he cant think past the bright light, He
will blast his high beams at you leaving both oncomming drivers
impaired and increases the accident chance four fold (you 80mph pissed
and blinded by his beams, him 90mph looking at a spotlight and over
amp driving lights).
I think DOT approved is a good way to go, or shine your modified lights
up the New Jersey Turnpike with your cockpit window open for feed back.

This is why the concept of "headlight aiming" exists. If a new BMW
can have Xenon headlights, so can my FC.

Scott, I agree with you and like Thomas pointed out, DOT approval for
running lights is a requirement I dont think you can aim a light
that has a round flood trajectory like a offroad light.

Well, we'll see if I get a lot of "flashes" on the road at night. If
I do, I'll just switch back to sealed beams. That's the beauty of
this change, no modification was required.
