So last weekend I'm returning from the city via the highway at 3:00
in the afternoon and oncoming is someone with their bright lights on,
it's really really bright, great lights...
They zip past, I look, it's my wife in the 90's wagon with the e500
beams on high! Since it's wired for both the inner and outer lamps
for high, it's really bright.
Sigh, grab cell phone, hit auto-dial.
Dear I think I just passed you on the highway, is the blue light on
the dash on?
"yes?"
Please turn the high beams off, people will like you better...
PS headlamps are on in Canada, so we automatically switch them on for
the two cars that don't have DRL. Seem when she comes home at night
the high beams are left
on because of the dark lane, then when you turn them on in the day,
why they still are on high, but you don't really notice. Others do tho..
