As for the light being close to you, look it up idiot.

I'll save him some trouble. One night, stand in your living room with the lights on, and look out the window.

Can't see shit huh?

Now, turn the lights off in your living room.

Now you can see much more outside than before.

This phenomena is also why many will tell you to only run your fog lights in fog.

On a sidenote, the only way you see the light projected by the smileys is if you were driving on the hood of your car.

Putting more light directly in front of you means its bright real close. That causes your pupils to narrow. While that is good for the depth of field it means you can take in less ambient light. In areas around the periphery of the light and beyond it all appears darker.

Its the same reason you cant see stars in a city, they are still there its just that there is too much light close to you.

Its also the same reason for our dull orange/red displays and dimming mirrors. Less low energy light forces the pupils to dilate to see it and that means they take in all sorts of light that would be otherwise undetectable.

this is why I will always consider blue/white gauges to be "rice".

Maybe a little bit. I tried not to take sides in all that bullshit that went on..

Plus, I dumped the e30 awhile ago. It's time to graduate, get married and get a house. No doubt I'll get back into the e30 stuff within a year or so, but for now, I'll tolerate (LOL) the IS...
