RE: Low Beam - CRUD????

[Aleksander Mierzwa <alex@matrix.com.pl>]

You use illegal bulbs which are _twice_ the wattage than the legal ones,
yet you pretend to be annoyed by people having their fogs on. Don't you
think it's unfair? A 100W low beam is gonna dazzle others _much_ more
than a 55W fog light. A good fog light has no less sharp cut-off beam
pattern than a dipped beam and is mounted much lower.
