Reply to "Low rise headlights, Vader, Hella or something alike"

Wow, this a some thread! Over 4,000 views. And such animosity. It’s something I really miss, since George started shutting down political threads.

Anyhow, it’s amazing what has come out of this. There are many choices of units one can buy or modify. And some of the available vendor choices are fantastic. If they don’t fit your needs, you can just fab your own low rise version.

But many seem to be so hung up in the details of the materials and the fit and finish minutia. The fact is, though, you only use headlights at night. At least, it only dark at night here in North America - it's different elsewhere. And aside from digging out a mess of bugs and debris from your headlights, I doubt anyone can see any of the product details at night, except the light they emit.

Anyhow, the lower they are the less air brakes you have and the less debris they collect. The brighter they are, the safer you are. Assuming, of course, you align them to light the road and not the night sky.

As for laws and regulations, any of us could be hauled off to jail for any number of things related to our Panteras – emissions, noise, pollution, side markers, bumpers, lighting, wipers, you name it.

And this doesn’t include all the laws just about every one of us breaks whenever we put our foot down.

And Peter, thanks for that tidbit. Next time I find myself with a really miserable wife, I’m moving to CA!
