On the other side of the coin, what about these super-bright LED bicycle headlights? I can't see a thing after one flash of those going the other way.

I expect you remember the old acetylene lamps you used to have to urinate in eh Darwin...?  happy100

I still do it on electric lamps out of habit

There are obviously very few DIY types here - 'cos if you were, you'd have worked out the cause of the problem of duff headlamps yourselves.

Just go and try and replace the bulb in any modern car. Go on - I dare you! Remember, it will almost certainly be a halogen bulb that you must NOT touch with skin and you need arms like an octopus to gain access to the rear of the housing

Some cars advise it as a main stealer job!

Then, when you look at the costs - and weigh that up against the fine and the potential for getting caught, it becomes blindingly obvious.

Well, someone had to say it!
