I thought the East Coast was populated????

I live in what's considered "rural" Michigan (the Little Finger area of the
"mitten"), and I drive 30 to 60 miles in the dark almost every winter
morning on two-lane roads that mostly rise and fall continually and twist
and turn often.  I never can drive more than a minute without either
meeting someone or overtaking someone so that I can't use brights
anyway.   Additionally, my headlight lenses are coated with
grit/dirt/frozen slop from the roadway by the time I've driven the first
2-3 miles in traffic almost every day.   Wouldn't matter what kind of light
I had, I'm sure I wouldn't "see" any better.
