    #### right they are! These trucks running the new HID lights need to aim them down some!
    I'm old and my eyes hurt at night after looking at all those dang super bright headlights!

    Maybe I'll try orangepickers vitamin trick.

    And fours lights are too bright also. And then everyone has to add their ### lights. Either the universe is getting darker or earthlings are getting stupider.

    I just close my eyes at night. Works like a charm. My tuck is like " kit" from Night Rider. I just ask kit to drive and I'm all set.

    I would like to know how many of these trucks running those super bright light bars actually get a ticket?
    They are not DOT approved and say for off road use only but seem to be becoming a fad....
    Chickens lights are fine but aircraft landing lights on the bumper is WAY too much!

    Two comments:

    1. If folks are flashing their brights at you, maybe you should consider aiming your lights lower. Just a thought.

    2. Lutein can be had in plentiful supply in leafy greens and egg yolks. Sometimes it amazes me that folks will spend big bucks buying vitamins and supplements while paying way too much to eat processed crap.

    Eat raw fruits and vegetables and eggs, then figure out how to aim your headlights properly.

    Hey, we need to keep spending $500 year on unnecessary vitamins and supplements to support the economy. Don't be telling people to eat right and not waste money with BS supplements. What's wrong with you?

    Once in a blue moon. I get someone flashing me.

    The truck is brand new. I"m not going to mexico to have the headlight specs readjusted.
