And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The yellow wavelength causes less glaring effects in foggy conditions, so the driver can see a little bit better and his car is seen better than with white lights…
In Utah snow storms at night, I would turn on the yellow and turn off the regular halogen and it was like night and day, wasn't legal, but I didn’t care as I wanted to live.
Back in the '80's I had an Audi 5000. It has the four small headlights but was wired to a standard H-4 plug. I put four 55-110 wat bulbs in and it was just two 55's or two 110's on high, but when I hit the flash it lit all eight elements, 660 wats thru Carrera quartz. Daylight - absolute daylight!
Back in the '60's, going to school in upstate NY, I often drove through snow with just parking lights. Keep the windshield cold and the lights on low beam or off, and you can see in the snow.
Foglights
ReplyDeleteYellow headlights used to be compulsory in France: not any more. Interestingly they never have been in the UK but for some reason they are permitted.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
DeleteUse to see them on cars in Spain in the 60s.
DeleteKeep out the bugs.

ReplyDeleteI used to see yellow aftermarket fog lights back in the 60's. Mostly on imports/sports cars.
ReplyDeleteWhy ask why, I run them. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat thing actually looks pretty cool head on.
ReplyDeleteI use my regular headlights but put on yellow-lens shooting glasses. Takes all the glare out of the fog or snow.
ReplyDeleteHeadlights, they have been a scam ever since they were "deregulated" decades ago. "But I got better," as they say in Monty Python.

Deleteare we being subjected to some kind of pennance lately?
ReplyDeleteI like the turning high beam lights connected to the steering. So cool.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful car, years ahead of its time, still futuristic today. French brilliance.
ReplyDeleteFirst time I've seen a picture of a Citroen that made it look good.
ReplyDelete+1.
