Old boss of mine had one, because he had a horse trailer. He had a horse trailer, because he had a horse. But I do not believe he had good reason to have a horse.

Horses are pets now, no reason or justifying required. All you need is money, and considerably more than for a dog/cat/bird.
But for one horse a one horse trailer will do, unless your horse like to take dates to the drive in.
And if he/she is into orgies... you're gonna need a bigger rig. :yesnod:

I heard a program on the radio about this and apparently, part of the problem is that there is no limit or definition set regarding brightness.

I seen headlights advertised as off road only but nobody is going to enforce that.

The performance of headlights should have been standardized years ago.
They should be of uniform brightness and height.
They currently vary from excellent to barely adequate.

Honda and Toyota among others should be reasonable for cleaning and clearing the fogged over plastic covers that dim their output.

They are treated like accessories and toys rather than one of the most important safety components.

When I was a teenager, I thought it was cool and smart to blast the guy coming at me with his brights on by doing the same.
Later I figured that at least he could see where he was going and. blinded, would be most likely to hit me.
Eyes will naturally look at the lights; looking down to the right will avoid dazzle and preserve night vision.

One of the foreign makers, Audi maybe, had literal lasers for headlights. They couldn't sell them in the US with that lighting set-up. I think someone now sells a car here with a laser light set-up.

I'm waiting for the class-action suit against GM.

The 94 Grand Cherokee has notoriously bad headlights. I've driven for days with the brights on and not gotten flashed once.

The headlights, brakes, windshield wipers and radio all get poor marks on the GC.

I had a 96, same problem.

The lights on new cars a dictated by stylists instead of engineers. :(

Thanks, BigV. Does anyone else here use that term? Michigan Markers?

xoxoxoBruce 12-31-2019 06:11 PM

Hadn't heard it before.

Gravdigr 12-31-2019 08:41 PM

Nope. We just call 'em cab markers, or cab lights. KYDOT may call them clearance lights.
