A lot of people here in Southern California don't have a clue what high or low beams mean. They just drive in whatever the lights are set. The cops don't seem to enforce this at all. We see the super bright blue/white headlights and all one can do is look to the right until they pass. Sign of the times, I guess..... But let me say, my old '55, now with the halogen lights and heavy duty harness, has some killer high beams when needed!
