Night time illumination devises

 I have H.I.D. headlights in my Am General M917 for the plow unit. They will burn your retinas on high beams, like a landing light on an aircraft. Good for plowing my driveway in the dead of night.

As irritating as the bright/improperly aimed lights is the fool who runs around in the dark because he can see. DUH?? We would like to be able to see you.

Actually I think it is the fact that most all new cars have the dash lit up 24/7.  That means the clueless idiot behind the wheel doesn't realize his lights aren't on at night(in the city anyway).  Thus they make automatic headlights for them, so they don't have to "think".    Maybe if the car was linked to their phone, it would tell them to "TURN YOUR LIGHTS ON"...or "TURN YOUR BRIGHTS OFF"...........then they would know????  Just thinking out loud.   I think the brights should automatically turn off(switch to dim) when you turn the ignition off, or at least go back to dim after say 3-4 minutes of driving.  That way the idiots can't forget to turn them off or make them turn them back on if they actually do need them.

 

Then they also have the daytime running lights, usually the hi beams on low voltage that light up the road enough for them to see.  Only problem is the tail lights aren't on so it's pitch black to any car behind them.  Ugh, it's a sad world we live in.
