Re: Black headlights

Back in the early 70's when I was just out of the Army, just married and living in Texas you had to have your car inspected every year. The way most inspectors made a little bit of money off the inspection was to adjust the headlights so they were correctly aimed and install a new set of wiper blades. At that time the mechanic made about a dollar actually doing the inspection. The good was that you seldom met anyone on the road with cockeyed headlights. I don't know if MiraclepieCo Runs or ran up 97 to Yakima and past my house but around here headlights are out of kilter more often than they are aimed right and lifted 4x4 trucks always have them aimed to hit you right in the eyes or aimed off up in the brush on the side of the road. That has a lot to do with how well you can see at night with any rig.
