I used to have an older Jeep that I installed aircraft landing lights on with a seperate switch. That would make 'em dim their lights in a hurry. I like the meme with the carbon arc searchlight too.

What get's me now is those damn blue headlights. I drive a Cadillac SRX and the headlights aren't very good for night driving. I've been thinking about getting some replacement bulbs to make them better, but not enough to annoy oncoming drivers.

Reminds me of an old joke/story. Truck auto carrier driving at night and his headlights go out. He has to keep going so he takes the first car and turns its headlights on. Looks okay and off he goes. Along comes a car in the opposite direction. He immediately goes off the road and crashes. His story to the State Police was, "I saw this vehicle coming down the highway and its lights were 15 to 20 feet above the road. I wasn't taking chances on how wide it was."

I think it was funnier 30 years ago when I heard it. Or I can't tell old jokes even though i'm an old man.

Cheers

Years ago when (when in SC) I had a '69 Pontiac wagon with 4 head lights, 2 were for brights, I replaced the two with really bright lamps found in a JC Whitney catalogue - later found out they were 13v aircraft landing lights. Quite the beam, could see forever in the country, but with a slanted skinny beam since they were keyed a bit differently. Anyway, I had them for quite a while. When I took the car overseas that was fine, too. I could only align them out in the country at night time. But when I came back to the states (Virginia, where they had required inspections), the inspector 'bout pooped his pants when I stepped on the high beam button. He had never seen any lights peg his meter way past the green and off the scale they were so bright. His manual did not specify a max only a minimum to pass, but since those lamps were not listed in his manual, (Duh, not even for a 12v system) he said I had to buy new approved lamps, one of the many listed in his manual. Those were the days.
