I forgot to mention that I ALWAYS took the amber lens covers off for night driving! They just pulled off. I also had driving lights on the Challenger; ""Bright Idea"", LOL!
I am inclined to agree with wanting the brightest lights you can get. My daily driver is a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan which I love! However, the size of the front headlight housings is my limitation. I went to Halogen bulbs, then to Zenon bulbs & still not enough lighting. LED's won't fit. As for deer, I took one out in the middle of the night, on a back road last year in January. I had the high beams on at posted speed limit, (35 mph). I live in the boonies, lots of forest and such. There are virtually no shoulders on back roads & the woods come right down to the edge. I have had deer whistles on every car for the last 40 years or so. However, a spooked deer running full speed out in front of you from the woods is unavoidable. Almost everyone I know has hit at least one. I met a guy a while back who has hit 6 of them. I only hit 4. I did some investigating & found out that there are 10 times the sustainable number of deer in the great garbage state! Our Governor is a city boy & won't expand or extend the hunting season. Hell, I personally know 2 people who hit bears! It pisses me off when these kids today driving these new cars with bright lights are often either untrained or too damn lazy to dim their headlights! Everything in their lives is automatic, requiring no thought at all. Oh well, I got a little off topic, but it burns my posterior about the deer!
