Perhaps you could fit yellow tinted headlight protectors instead?

Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

I wouldn't do it. I don't like the look.

And there are enough vehicles on the roads with stupid lights in the form of feckin' HID lights and drivers who think they need fog lights in clear weather.

And on the opposite end of the scale, those in grey or silver cars/vans with NO fucking lights on when it's foggy :twisted:
