<VV> Headlights

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Incorrect. I have 100/145s on my Fiero GT and my wife's Forester. They are  
aimed properly. They are NOT a problem to other drivers whatsoever. The Fiero 
is  using Cibie E codes, and have a better beam pattern than the Forester. They 
both  use H4 bulbs. 
The three things that are unacceptable:
1. LOUSY optics. This means most DOT headlights. However, if they are using  
Euro bulbs, they are several notches up, since this is a sign they usually 
also  have E code certification. 
2. Bad aiming. Nothing is more annoying than headlights that aren't aimed  
properly. Well, maybe a sharp stick in the eye. 
3. Installing HID or other bulbs not specifically designed for the  headlamp. 
FAR more often than not, the optics are incompatible. 
 
But powering up the headlights PROPERLY is not a bad thing.

Just for S&G most state laws  follow FMVSS 108 which seems to say that 55w 
low beams are the legal  maximum. While 100W low beams may be nice for you, 
they are not for other  motorists particularly when cataracts start to form.
