    LED bulbs

    And dazzle on coming drivers made worse on undulating roads. I believe there is an enquiry going on about ultra bright lights and about time too. In late 1970s to early 1990s I use do around 30/35K miles a year covering the whole country and never had problem with standard lights.

    Have all motoring manufactures given up on SAFTEY?

    !957 I had a new VW, It had 4 knobs on dashboard, Engine choke, ash tray head lights and windscreen wipers. For those who don't know, 'choke' is a fuel enrichment device for cold start. What more doo you need? No short wave radio, too much noise on dirt roads of East Africa.
