Would that approach get you through a DMV inspection ? I wonder how far off
of that new cars are set up today. The distances sound kind of far - at
least the 75' one.
It's all moot now as I got blown away in the auction. I'm not terribly
concerned with the high beams as I'll soon have driving lights on the cars.
I suppose I could have adjusted the headlights to largely compensate for the
RHD given I'm less concerned with where the high beams point.
Regards,
Mike L.
