Re: Black headlights

The best light I got at night on my truck was with Ciibie H-4 lights with 55/100 bulbs in them. Properly adjusted they put out a good usable light on low beam and reached down the road on high far enough that you couldn't outrun them at 100+. It was also usable light and not the light that was too bright that Miriclepieco mentioned. The cars and trucks here in Washington are terrible for having out of adjustment lights that go everywhere but where they should. When I lived in Texas we had to have state inspections every year and they checked the aim on your headlights and that was usually how the mechanic inspecting the car made a couple of bucks when they adjusted the lights. You didn't have cars coming at you with cockeyed lights though.

Still no matter how well something might work I don't want it on my AD or my 71 if it is just flat ugly.
