Is it me, or is there an influx of cars having one headlight out on their car? I had mine go out about 5-6 months ago, and after I replaced it, I started seeing them more often. Reminded me of situations like when you buy what you think it is not that common a car (or even color of the model) and then all of a sudden you start seeing it more often afterwards.
When I start seeing a few cars with "one headlight", I sometimes like to imagine there is some contagious virus being passed on from vehicle to vehicle, because it seems to be showing up more readily. I realize the abundance could come from the economy not being in the best state. Another repair cost to deal with when you have no time or worse, no money to fix it sucks. (I was lucky to have mine occur at a reasonable time money wise.) However, it annoys me when people try to compensate this problem by putting on their bright lights. Anybody else ever encounter this?
If I only came across this on rare occasions, I wouldn't care so much, but there also seems to be an abundance of people attempting to go the "just throw my brights on" route as well. I know you can get pulled over and a possible ticket for having a headlight out, but I would think you could get pulled over for having your brights on to compensate as well? Besides, wouldn't having your brights on draw more attention anyways? It does when I see you in my rear view mirror, with your one bright and one one regular headlight. "Really?" I typically find myself saying, (sometimes followed by some french) as I try to adjust my viewing capabilities...
Alas, if only it was like a treatable contagious virus, and I could just dole out some sort of cure to the afflicted... other than wanting to just take out their other light and be done with it. Just gotta deal with it, I suppose. Though, it felt good to get that out. Rant done.
