The problem with lights, I find, is that most are OK on main beam these days, but it is the dipped beam which leaves a lot to be desired, especially when more and more cars are using extra bright gas discharge bulbs.
Has anyone come across a bulb which has a dipped beam rating at more than the standard [and legal] 55w, irrespective of the high beam power?
The other problem is that more and more people insist on driving everywhere on dipped lights, and therefore quite slowly, so when you come to overtake, you cannot use their lights to see the road ahead of them. I have no qualms in using my full beam whilst behind to illuminate the road. If they get dazzled then sod them!
