Others think they're too dim, but to you they're too bright. Sheesh.

They're really bright from **5' away**. If you're tailgating me that
close, I have no sympathy. From a normal distance, they're normal.

And I use halogen headlights, not the blue ones.

This thread ends now.

*Please* consider the drivers of vehicles around you.  I am more-and-
more having to shade my eyes while driving because of someone's fancy
new LED taillights or turn-signals that are so bright that they're
impeding my vision!!!

And those stupid-bright blue headlights?  I think they should be
banned from 4-wheel vehicles and provided free to freeway-legal 2-
wheel vehicles.  There!!! *That*'ll make our m'cycle visible to cage-
drivers!
