[ST] Headlight Refocus

[peter.chittum@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Just wanted to send out a thanks to whoever has contributed to the "my ST's
headlights suck" conversations in the past. I finally took the time to
refocus them this last Sunday, after having spent many miles in the dark,
with about 10 feet of visibility thanks to the headlights. 

I did it at dusk on Sunday, and used my garage door as a means of gauging
it. I was no where near as scientific as some of the descriptions out there.
I was ~10 ft from the garage, and moved the upper edge of the beam up by 2-3
inches (again, these are estimates). 

Now, after a couple of runs in the dark this week, I can see a marked
difference between what used to be this great black void of road rushing
into the inadequate beam, and what is now some pretty clearly illuminated
road (comparable to most cars out there with me). I'd still like to get the
brighter light bulbs now, too...never can be too sure. :-) Nevertheless,
this has already helped enormously. 

We'll see how the caged masses like it (or not). I'm not too worried about
people in front of me...it's more the people off to the sides, especially in
turns that I'm curious about. I'll report back if I begin to get people
telling me I've got my brights on. 

Later
