Re: General public's ignorance on vehicle bulbs...

The really irritating new trend is either removing or unplugging the wiring to the low beams (on 4 headlight cars) and driving around with just the high beams on, aka ghetto HIDs.

Nope. The outer headlights (the low beams) are off, just the inner headlights (high beams) are on. I guess they think they can fool the cops because only 1 set of lights is on instead of both. Same people who do that are the ones who put those stupid portholes on their front fenders.

Makes me glad I have an auto-dimming rear view mirror.
