I don't think I've driven my car in dark conditions for years. I occasionally pop the headlamps up and down when driving through town, to give the locals a treat though. On the subject of more light, there's a lot of public opinion against how dazzling modern dip beam headlights are now.

This picture really shows off well the contours of the Fuchs wheels. The way that wheel face transitions to the lip with the angled intermediate section is just awesome.
