I sure have fun with guys like you! Despite the fact my head- lights are perfectly aligned, some people think that my halogens on low beam are regulars on high beam. So when they give a blink so I turn 'em down and I give a courtesy flash in return to let them know I DON'T have my high beams on and they still try to blind me, look out! I put those suckers on high and fix their ass! They probably see spots for days. :-) Seriously though, a lot af people have terribly misaligned lights and it is truly a problem. It's so hard to fix, turning those couple of adjustment screws on each light! Doug Williams AT&T Bell Labs Reading, PA mhuxt!rduxb!daw1
