I got let off when a Police car popped over a hill before I dropped my
lights down to low beam.  Blinded the poor cop, 770watts of light pointing
UP the hill!  I watched him past me with his brake lights on so I started
looking for somewhere to pull over.  Long story short, he warned me to look
further ahead, and kill the foglights.  He also commented on my Cibie
lights.  When I got home I swapped the 80/130w H4s for standard 55/60w and
replaced the 100w globes in the Cibies with 55w.  I've still got 100w in the
OE high beams, can't flash the Cibies.

I'm night blind, what's your excuse?
