Those blinding headlights don't necessarily give you better visibility as a driver. However, FYI, most of those are using HID lights. This requires some very expensive parts in order to properly implement. Truthfully, you best bet is to switch to H4 headlights, or a South African 4 round headlight grill. On my Westy, I have the H4 setup and a couple of Projektzwo foglights. In the wilds of West Virginia, this will light up the woods quite nicely. On my non-GL Syncro, I have the South African set up. Pretty good too (and I was very impressed with how well standard round sealed beams work on the van.)
