Me too. And here in Mass., too.

Agreed.

I've got a pair of 6" Cibies in the grille on my daily Golf, in
addition to a set of Hella fogs mounted on the bumper. While the
Cibies are really bright, if you aim low, and/or cross the beams,
and/or use a pencil beam on the driver's side, there's no
appreciable flare into oncoming traffic, or rear view mirrors. Good
lighting makes night driving *so* much safer, less stressful, and
less tiring. I have both pairs of aux lights on separate poles of a
single switch on the dash, and can turn them all on and off with one
tromp on a foot switch. It's the way of the future!

Ken Beard at Susquehanna Motorsports sells everything one could ever
want/need, including wiring harnesses, and helpful installation
instructions. Highly recommend: http://catalog.com/susq.

He's also got some great odometer / rally computers for folks who
like to know *exactly* where they are, or are out in the sticks with
just a map, their odo, and a wrong turn between them and say...
Alaska.
