    You're very fortunate, my son. I doubt that some millenials even have the motor skills or coordination to ever learn how to drive a stick. They are good with "dumb phones" though.

    You're right and I wouldn't see all the idiotic wrecks I see almost on a daily basis. With an 80 mph speed limit where I live I see some really bad ones and the only cause of some of them is a medical condition, falling asleep or playing with their toys while behind the wheel and I'd bet playing with their toys is the main cause.

    It's still got stocks bulbs, it almost seemed like the low beam is the same as brights. I think manufacturers didn't care about lights at that point in time. I have an Infiniti and a ford that are the same year as my taco. All of their headlights are terrible

    They put those low power worthless bulbs in because they last forever. As I said in my earlier post the brighter the bulb replacement the shorter the lifespan. Unless, I suppose, you go the all new aftermarket headlight route which I, personally, don't want to do. The Sylvania Silverstars work great for me. I have read that the Osrams are a bit better. I may give them a try next time. I've gotten a year out of my Silverstars so far but I work days so I don't do a lot of night driving. I'll just wait and see how long they last.
