COMMON SENSE which is perfectly illustrated in the 2 posts immediately above, has been abandoned in favor of gimmickry and hyperbole. Having 9004 lamps in my toad I was stuck with garbage grade factory lighting. Not wishing to feed the Grim Reaper Vitamin B, I elected to change them.
Assssssssssssssssssssssssumptions lead to misrepresentation. Like asssssssssssssuming I did not light the lights, walk down the street, turn around and look at my headlights AT NIGHT. The fact that they dazzled less than the factory bulbs was not lost on me.
With the CREE 300-watt light bar, I dim my lights in excess of one mile from an approaching car. I do not illuminate it on hills or in curvy country. This may be due to common sense. I may have encountered asphalt tinted cattle residing on the centerline a couple-dozen times now. With the LED headlights, and CREE light bar I can see them for a distance of perhaps 300'. Enough time to slow down safely from 70 mph.
But maybe some comments here are correct - hyper regulation, because hookah-induced fogbrain numbs frontal lobes into a near coma state of being. Training wheels needed above 50 IQ rated obstacles.
