Dont get me wrong, I want to be seen. Thats why i use 2 headlights. and want to add 2 more.
On that note, Im already taking 2 difficult classes this semester so I dont need your lesson. There is a guy here that custom builds headlights. I have been about 75 yards away and about 30 yards out of his line of sight and been blinded by him in a highly lit area. I have seen his ads, he runs 2000+lumen lights.
