Aah, you're right Andy - the Bear thing was about porridge and Goldilocks. ;D
But Grandmother! What big eyes you have," said Little Red Riding Hood.
"The better to see you with, my dear," replied the wolf.

Easy - the faster cars are made to go, the better lights need to be. ;)
I assume that you don't have HID/xenon lights on your Omega then?
-
yeah, I fitted new replacement headlamps on the wife's 06 corsa, and they are a lot brighter than the Mig. I wonder if the headlamp front plastic is ageing and cutting down the light going out ?.

Facelift Omega is a 12 year old re-vamp on a 18 year old design, just standard improvements over the years.
As for faster cars needing faster lights? Eh? My old Senator saw off a lot of newer cars, and it had shite headlights ;)

I had 100W main beams on mine to try to light the road ahead.
Drive an old Mk I Cavailer /Manta with tungsten bulbs in ................... they're not even as good as sh1te. ;D ;D ;D

why is it that the slowest most shite car I own also has the best headlamps of any of them,the car,a 97 fiesta 1.3 :-X :'(

I wonder if I could retrofit Corsa headlamps to the Mig ? :-?

theres a lot of retro fitted hid's on cars around where i live, most of the time there pointed too high as well! >:( some are so bright you would think they would get pulled the first time they passed the police!
-
"why are headlights so god damn bright these days??"
Becuase the overwhelming majority of people don't understand how the human eye works in low light levels (night vision) and how vulnerable that is to even brief glimpses of oncoming bright lights.
So people think they need to turn night into day in order to be safe driving at night; an arms-race of ever-brighter lights ensues, and everybody ends up worse off.

Not just headlights, the brakelights on some models are ridiculously brights as I posted in a thread recently.

I notice new "MINI"s are so bright they've gone past red and into pinky purple ;D Or maybe that's just the permanent damage they're doing to my retinas..

Or perhaps the plastic is ageing/fading rather fast.
