<VV> Headlights

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

The Forester does not have E code housings, but still, it has a rather  
decent beam pattern anyway, and they take H4 bulbs. No one blinks this car! Yes,  
the housings and lenses are plastic, but they are also fairly large. After 2  
years, no signs of any problems whatsoever, even during long nightime drives  
from the beach.

"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. "

Are the Forester's lenses  and reflectors up for the added heat from the 
100/145
watth H-4  bulbs?   Did you get E-code lights for it??

FYI,

My  Mercedes is running the E-code 500E lights-complete with headlight  level
adjustment.  That is the headlight level is adjustable from  within the car to
compensate for a heavy trunk or a full load of  passengers!  Never had anyone
flash me as having hi-beam on.  I  think they are less intense for on-coming
traffic than the new  HID's.
