    Excluding the: pickups with travel trailers, the overloaded minivans and SUV's, there are still many ppl out there who drive with their brights on who just can see!! And thank you to the 'cool ppl' with those bright white/blue headlights and the manufacturers who put in hi-intensity bulbs in their 4-wheeler tail lights, lucky we drivers can see anything at all!!!:biggrin_25521:

    No kidding! The new halo things drive me crazy! And they are working on outlawing them here. I hope they get it done. I hate the new blue ones, they are not friendly to meet at night at all. Its all about the new fast and the furious toys. And my youngest is buying it hook line and sinker. :biggrin_25521:

    I'm sure they get away with it because the laws were written in wattage with incandescent bulbs in mind many years ago!! Need to change it to 'Lumens' and then we'll get them..ha ha:biggrin_255:

    I'd hate to think what my vehicle would look like if I let him "do" everything he wants to to it. Where are these kids getting the money for this stuff, anyways? When mine says mom we should..... I just look at him and say NO! LOL

    I put a pair of GE Nighthawk bulbs in my Blazers low beams and they do put out a bit more light than stock bulbs.

    Make sure you consult him before he says anything about a $300 Muffler.

    Effect: Makes a 4 cylinder bark like a 440 Magnum

    You can do the same thing with a $12 Hacksaw and 30 Minutes of sawing off the muffler.

    TELL me about it!!! And the police and bus drivers locally around here do it, too!!! :biggrin_25516:

    I HATE those new blue/purple headlights!! They HURT my eyes at night and it's HARD to ignore them. :biggrin_25516: They're like having streetlights pointed at your face. :biggrin_2551:
