On my 96 GL, I had to get new headlights (BIG difference than the originals, first off) due to an accident.
Still didn't like the output, so I put some Silverstar high beams in the low beams when I was in Texas. TONS of output (not as bright as the high beams, though... I'm assuming it has to do with the with reflector and lens), but I still got flashed. Had the same cop flash me twice, but I just flashed him back and it was all good.
