I agree with MAKG on the headlight aim. If they're aimed too high, then you won't be able to see as well AND you'll be blinding traffic. I disagree about the safety thing though. Where I live, you have to keep an eye out for deer. Brighter lights are going to illuminate a larger area and give you more room to react when you see an animal in the road. What about installing aux driving lamps. That way you won't be increasing the brightness of the low beams, but you'll be able to flip them on when there are no cars coming. I'll admit, if I'm driving at night and I can see there are no cars coming for a couple miles, I'll flip on all four aux lights on the front of my truck and I do shut them off when I see another car. I'd like to think some of the close calls I've had with deer recently were because of the increase in illumination, not just luck.
