Who drives much at night?

Yes Dino, I still have stock sealed beams. Complete and udder crap.

I thought about upgrading further but the stress of risking 70 front end panels has made me give up the thought of driving at night. We have alot of deer down here and the thought of busting my mint grille on one really stresses me out. :-\

It would still be wise to continue upgrading them, though. For safety.

When I was single, I drove a lot at night. I had a 76 Camaro set up for cornering and night time was better because fewer people were on the road.

When I was single (more than 30 years ago now) I lived for nighttime activities. These cars were great for any and all of them. They were way-more than just great.  The area of my youth went from semi-rural small towns and cities, to very rural in fairly short order. Roads were mostly 2-lane blacktop that went to dirt the minute you got off of the beaten path. There weren't a lot of streetlights. Traffic jams were almost unheard of and folks drove fairly soberly (both literally and figuratively).  I now reside on the perimeter of (if not within) a large and seemingly ever growing metropolis.  Instead of two lanes, I deal with mostly four. There is lots of traffic and fairly aggressive drivers are the norm.  At night, that traffic includes lots of amped-up little twits in crappy little plastic cars that drive like there is no tomorrow. For many that may very well be true, because in Colorado now, many of them are impaired on both alcohol and weed.  Not a good mix with old cars and grumpy, middle-aged drivers, so I venture out very sparingly after dark in my old relic.  On warm, midweek summer nights I might hit the drive-in for a cone or a malt, or even a nice little meal somewhere nearby, on a side street with a good view of the car.  I'm not cruzing chicks anymore, and the street wars now go on without me.
