I leave my headlights off at night HOWEVER I do light two candles and place them on the headlight doors but you must adjust them with your TURBNATOR that way the air "SWIRLS" and keeps the candle lit,simple huh? And you guys said the Turbunator was snake oil HAH!!!.

Yes while i agree about the blinding lights motorcycles have, and yes they do blind you, but in many instances i have seen cars go after motorcycles, and cut the off on purpose, i have had several behind me, and they blind you, usually once the idiots get in front of me , i hit them with my highbeams, usually they give me the finger and speed away,
You have to be kidding, blinding someone on purpose is stupid not to mention illegal and a good way to get a rock or spark plug bounced into your windshield.

As to ruining headlights at night depends weather I'm wearing sunglasses

BTW, why in the world would you drive without your headlights on at night
