You loose the sense of distance when looking with only one eye but that
might be better than loosing vision on both - maybe
At least in Europe Hella and other brands sell add on hibeams with xenon
bulbs in them and a pair of those ( or some other good quality lights ) on
the roofrack will make even truckdrivers turn of their hibeams since
Vanagons are rather tall :-)
The problem is if the other guy has a taller truck or more lights, the worst
I�ve "bumped in to" had a pair of rotating blue lights and he gave me a
ticket :-)
