---Halogen headlamps---There not out of adjustment there just to damm
bright
I will Not put them on my 86 Blaser or any other car that I have owned.
To
this day I do'nt under stand how they became leagle. I have no use for
them
and no one else should, if you ca'nt see the road with low beam you have
no
bussness on the road at night. Hell I see cars on the road with a full
moon
and thes fools are running with high beams on, I can see the road fine
with 
lights off. You do'nt have to light up the countryside to see were your
going.
All you need to see is just the road 300 ft in front of you at any
speed.
