<VV> halogen lights

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

And the point here is, that with decent lighting, there is no such thing 
as driving at night.  Or just buy a BMW X-5 with the optional head light 
upgrade -- seriously, some *very* good headlights on them.

I won't relate the details of my recent night time crash of a newly 
acquired Fiero (Darn!), other than to say it was maybe partly my fault 
for not having gotten the lighting upgraded and aimed on it before hand.

I, too, normally have upgraded lighting on everything we actually drive 
-- and I have some CiBie H-4's in a temporarily retired Fiero, so I have 
no *good* excuses for the above incident.  I've been using lighting 
upgrades since the late 1960's, before H4's and halogens -- big round 
incandescent bulbs ...    then along came Corvairs and 5.5 inch  CiBie 
H1 quads -- wow!
