Yeah I'm all for the slow down a little for some of us slower folks, and even slower for me. I've rented cars in Europe with the adjustable headlights, but can't quite remember the deal. The lights or reflectors can be adjusted to do what? They allow you to focus more light on the road right in front of you or down the road a bit, is that ? What's the downside: You have the potential to blind on-coming drivers if you're not conscientious? Why are the illegal in the USA? And Why are the hella H4 without sealed beams illegal? What could the beam being sealed possibly matter?? I've gotta say my H4s are far less offensive than a Benz with halogens or whatever the bluish beam is, as the Benz pops over a speed bump blinding every on-coming driver for 100 miles. Although I think my H4s are only 55w/65w. And while we're on it, seems to me yellow headlights were all the rage in europe about 20 years ago. What happened to them and why was yellow better than "white". Illuminate me. Thanks, Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA
