The reference to rice lights, proof that people object to change. Again on the road I was observing fog lights on a variety of cars, not one dazzled me in any way (new commodores included), in fact the only ones that did dazzle in any way were a couple of low beams, two were on 4wd's. The study continues.
Been there and done that with the lights and sirens..

I am not resistant to change, if I thought the rice lights provided any benefit that my low beams couldn't give me .. I would use them. IMO and experience, they are their to make the cars look 'sporty'
I get dazzled regularly by commodores and early WRXs .. their light is just focused wrong.
