Re: Driving lights in the bumper?

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but it's dangerous to drive with dim white lights on the front of your vehicle. It can cause a head-on collision when the driver of an oncoming car wants to pass another, and he mistakes your dim white lights 1/4 mile up the road for a pair of bright headlights a half-mile away and thinks he has room to pass. That's why they changed to amber parking lights in the '60s. They couldn't convince people to quit driving with their parking lights on (it's illegal, but nobody enforces it), so they changed the color.
