twin,fog lights. Who determined that every vehicle from the smallest honda to the largest semi needs enough candlepower to look like a747 coming in for a landing? I understand that such lighting would be very helpful a on a winding , dark country road , but they have no place on a modern interstate highway where even at the lonleist hours you are never more than a few hundred yards from another vehicle to save my eyesight from the welding torch brigtness of most cars and trucks I am forsed to point my mirrors down and not keep them where they belong. I also keep my 2 sunvisors (drivers side and front) down all night this limits my ability to safly see all aroud me at all times like I do during rare daytime driving.I am sure I am not alone among truck drivers who are driving half blinded by unnessacerry and excessive candlepower. This could be fixed by regulating the maximum (and resonable) brightness needed cars and truck headlights and foglights didnt used to be so stunningly bright, why the sudden need for such brightness? Just because manufactuers can make such headlights (and at a big profit I understand) is no reson to make our highways more deadly every night. Hoping to get some relief from this safty hazard, paul howe *tr
