BUZZHIDLIGHTS

Anyone Know Starman on the P-S site he is having problems with that light system last time I read P-S? I saw the Demo at OKC and they were bright.

We try very hard to plan our trips so there is NO NIGHT driving. The first day we had our bus we had to drive 30 miles after dark. What a deal that was. Only one other time. It might be best for me if I had no headlights. Great to be retired.

I hear you Larry. Interstate driving is not too bad; however, a couple of times now though I have been caught on dark back roads at night and it is just not good. What I always think about is that these things are driven day and night by the entertainer crews and I just can't imagine they don't have better lighting than the stock Prevost stuff.

Greg - just read his posts over there and he definitely seems dissappointed with them. Sounds like his concerns are uneven lighting, "clunky operation," and one light didn't cycle on when turned on. I will try to contact him ahead of my installation.

I am suddenly feeling like a lab rat for some reason. Will give it a go and see what happens.

Captain Mogul bought a set. See what he thinks about them.

I think my dash switch is mis-labeled, I turn on the upper left switch marked for the lights it hard to tell if you have headlights.

I polished the lens, changed bulbs and it works somewhat better 20% maybe. New lights would be great as we roll at night almost every trip.

Merry Christmas

So we all agree that the stock Prevost headlights leave a lot to be desired. However, Liberty has overcome the deficit with the addition of "driving lights." Rocker switch that says "driving lights" in the up position and "fog Lights" in the down. The driving lights turn night into day. It's a pain to reach down and rock the switch off for oncoming traffic, but on those dark two lane roads they are a life saver.

Sawdust: I knew some ole fart would have a comment about my age. lol

Orren: I will have to check the package that the Silverstar bulbs came in to see if they are "Ultra" or not. I Will let you know. I do know they are a definite improvement over the factory Prevost bulbs.- but still not quite good enough.

Since none of you are willing to face the truth I will express it so you can possibly "see the light".

Fact number one is you are driving at night. Night is dark. How hard is that to understand.

The second fact is none of you are on the sunny side of 50.

Related to the second fact is the most significant one of all. As you age your night time vision goes to hell. You old farts think you should see the road like you did when you were 17. When it gets dark all of you should be off the road sleeping. You cannot see and even if you had million candlepower headlights you would still be complaining you couldn't see.

For those who can't sleep (again, because you are old and you do your best sleeping in the easy chair in front of the TV) and insist on driving at night, at least slow down so your lousy reaction times are in sync with the poor headlights on your gazxillion dollar buses.

Any questions?

I could probably rephrase this so it is easier to understand if you want.

(Just be like Winchester. He knows driving is for daytime, Viagra is for night time.)

Hey Jon, I thought you once indicated that you tend to leave around 3AM when you're on the road. Last time I checked, 3AM is pretty darn dark too!

Ted - Marathon like Liberty attempted to overcome the deficit in my bus with driving lights as well - problem is, they don't seem to help nearly as much as yours sound to. Perhaps that is where I need to focus is upgrading those?
