Just know what I read in a government publication and nothing more.

Isn’t it funny how people want others to be considerate of them but not necessarily the other way around?

When I am facing bright lights for whatever the reason, I just focus on the right edge of the road and know it will be over in a few seconds. Has worked for me for many years of driving and driving 70K to 100k miles per year. Not that big of a deal.

OP, your upgrade looks great and glad you like it.

Thanks! I tilted my drivers side headlight down a little extra so I wouldn’t be aiming directly at oncoming traffic. It’s still way brighter and more comfortable than the factory halogens or the LEDs that came with new housings.

I had to do that when I put aftermarket LED "fog" lights on my truck. Not as effective as I'd like, but they're so poorly focused that anything higher would blind oncoming drivers.

Peace - I think the grill work on your truck looks very sharp. "No chrome" is one small reason I chose my Ram Power Wagon.

Peace,
I have those LEDs just above my headlights, they also serve as turn signals but they are always on.

Hey 5030 you like the our blinding lightbars, both front and back!

 

[YanmarFever]

Peace
I have had that Yamaha covered in mud to the doors. However Im a clean freak with shades of a germaphobe too.
I power wash it immediately after a run on the trails and use a DeWalt buffer on it with pro-gold cleaner.
Plus it gets stored inside, I like my toys to look clean because when it comes time to replace one I always get top dollar$
The LEDs are mainly for use at the farm to find our dog, cat, or thieves at night in our fruit groves

Speaking of lights, I found 4 Hummer NV lights that Im converting over to 12V to mount on the front for a little more stealth at night.

Thieves In a fruit grove? Not a good sign. . Times have changed a lot recently. So many items at WM are behind locked glass now. I went to pick up a new drill at Lowe’s and everything was locked together with a cable.
We have an orchard/farm near us that sells to the public. When you arrive, they give you a bag, wagon, wheelbarrow or you can take your vehicle down the isles to pick what you want. When you return to the front, they weigh everything and charge by the pound. As you wait in line, you can purchase a glass of fresh made, ice cold apple cider. I don’t remember the price per pound, but it’s not really a bargain. Seems like it was about market price.

There are several pick-your-own orchards around here, as you noted prices were about the same as at the supermarket. Big difference is the freshness. Nothing like a fresh-picked apple, no comparison to the kind of mushy ones at the store.
Most of them will provide bags, or you can bring your own and they weigh them. One requires you to use their bags, I got yelled at for bringing my own. Turned around and left. None AFAIK allow you to take your vehicle into the orchard.

Yeah, I've noticed the locked up items at WM last year or so. Seems to vary by store. Not always a pattern to it...flash drives locked up but not SD cards. One has underwear locked up. Really? People steal underwear?
The display models of tools at our HD & Lowes are cabled together, but the boxed ones are out in the open. Or at least they were last time I looked.

People think that you have plenty so therefore it’s ok if they take just a few. If you take a few and all the other neighbors take a few pretty quickly you’ve lost a ton or so.
One side of our family grows apples, the other side grows oranges. Night vision and floodlights are part of their everyday trying to keep people out. Dirt bike, atv and sxs people are nasty too, think they have a right to use your land.

A friend has a pick ur own vegetable place, had to install cameras and hire security because people where stealing more than they paid for. Surprisingly, most times not the ones driving an old beat up Ford, the Lexus and BMW ones keep the sheriff’s office busy.

As far as thieves go, this country has gotten a little taste so far of what's coming across the border.
Better buckle up because it isn't going to be safe to leave ANYTHING out.

Had to replace the headlights on our 08 f350 also. Real dim and right side wouldn't adjust.

Go figure, they were the big sealed beam bulbs. Hate those things.

Bought all new assemblies. When I took out the right side, it was destroyed, probably last time old owner had the cab pulled.

Much brighter and with more adjustment.

Wish I would have gone LED, maybe in the future
