Dang, so I'm not the only one who's noticed this?

And what's with people driving at the crack of dawn or at sunset with no lights on?

Or idiots driving in rain or fog with no lights. There's a lot of morons on the road.

I have some brighter side of things regular headlights and folks are flashing me all the damn time. I didn't go out seeking the brighter type but I'm like...ok those aren't my brights...THESE are my brights. Gets annoying that people can't tell the difference.

Note to everyone - it's not everyone elses fault that your low beam headlight went out. STOP TURNING ON YOUR HI BEAMS AND PUNISHING US FOR IT. Go to fricking Walmart and get a new $10 bulb.

Do most cars come with the angle adjustment switch these days? Most people probably aim them high with that because they can see better.

miss the days when the bright light switch was on the floor board.


Nearly killed myself when I had my first vehicle without this. Got my foot hung up in the damn wheel trying to dim the lights and almost didn’t get it free in time.

Don’t know, but I flash my high beams back at every damn one of them

And they never turn them off. People are retarded.

Also, no one flashes brights to warn of cops anymore either.

Can't turn on blinker or dim lights with phone in their hand.

I do it because the lights are brighter when in high beam mode and I see better.

They’re trying to get you to flash them so that they can follow and murder you for a gang initiation.

I have 2 personal vehichles that I drive.

1993 Chevy k1500. light lens cost $70 on ebay
2006 Infinity. Light lens cost $500 on ebay

People drive with brights when the lens get cloudy from too much sun damage because it's not a costly pain in the arse to replace them.

Who wants to pay half a grand for light lens? Car manufacturers are fricking over customers with this crap.

How about using some buffing compound and polish to renew your old yellowed lens? Then use some sealer to protect them from UV damage.

No need to replace $500 lens

I'm open to recommendations. I've tried the buff em out with a compound method and it lasts a very short time.

What compound and sealer are you using or know about that can last? $500 is crazy, and that's after bargain hunting on ebay, the actual price is much higher from other online stores.

I see them all the time with 4 lights on. Low beams are working. I hit them with brights and leave them on, but most of the time there is no reaction.

Because they are looking at their phone!

I used a 3M kit that had product for each step. Just use a high quality kit like 3M, or Meguiar's,.... Just make sure it has a UV sealer included
