I think Chris's point is valid. think about it.. Lets say we put the SAME exact light bulbs and lenses in the driving light position as in the regular lights, people would STILL think you were blinding them when in fact the light would falling on the same spot in the road as your regular lights. Its sort of the "red sportscar" phenomenon. The cop sees a red 911 and assumes its the speeder when in fact its the Blue Vanagon with subaru motor in the back ... Biased perception. -s
