Larry, my vision is so bad that I cannot even tell that an eye chart is on the wall, much less try and read it. Glasses are my only salvation. When those blue lights come at the lenses of the glasses they refract into a blinding halo of light that immediately renders me without the capability to see anything else on the road in front of me. The blue light also has the same effect on the windshield, which, unfortunately, has been installed in the vehicle a few too many years.

The visibility that I get with the Hella H4's on low beam is about 150 feet. When that is not enough, the high beams literally will light up the road for 700 feet. This is certainly sufficient for any driver, and, when used judiciously, will not blind anybody.

There is no need for the extraordinary expense and the blinding irritation caused by those Xenon's.
