silvania silver bright - headlamps

[Robert Myers]

An inexpensive (but nowhere near as satisfactory) solution to the "I can't 
see to drive after dark" problem is to install a pair of clear lens fog 
lights aimed so that the reasonably flat light beam is below horizontal and 
a pair of driving lights aimed to flood the road ahead with light.  There 
are el-cheapo brand 100 watt lights which are fairly suitable for this task 
available at places like JCWhitney for something on the order of $35-$40 
per pair of lights.

Note, this is NOT the ideal solution but it will help your vision at 
night.  Be aware that while this will help YOUR vision it will likely harm 
the vision of approaching drivers.  Be quick on the dimmer switch and be 
sure the fog lights are aimed so as not to blind oncoming 
drivers.  Consider this as a temporary solution until such time as you can 
afford the far superior Eurolights.  When that time arrives then 
immediately dump the el-cheapos.

Tax cuts for the Resident's cronies.  $87 billion for Iraq.  $500+ billion 
deficit.  School libraries closing.  Yep - no child left behind.
