I got my license during WWII so I know a little about sealed beams.

It is not correct that lights are better now than they were then,

The lights on my RAM are of that designer projector type and they came from the factory with crap bulbs...the worst lights I ever had on a vehicle.

I replaced the bulbs with a brighter bulb and now on high beams they are acceptable but not great. The low beams are so poor that it is not easy to negotiate the complex entry/exit lanes on the interstates.

Because we also have a Jeep with HID lights, I do have a fair comparison. I would never spend the money for the difference as there is none.

Bright lights do not necessarily mean that they project further. On a lonely dark night on the interstate just note how your lights compare to the vehicle passing you. He may have HID’s that blinded you in your mirrors, but he can see no further down the road.

And I do know how to adjust the aim. I wish every one knew how.
