Drove mine to Home Depot before daylight today
Were our headlights really so pathetic back in the day? Should say I kept them on high beam. Nobody cared and I still couldn't see very well. Eye doctor claims I'm 20/20 . Thanks

The old 6013 and 4000 series lamps made decent light. What I found as to my issues was the onset of cataracts. Level Two is bad enough to make them appear dim when not but not bad enough to affect vision acuity for tests.

In contrast current Projector beam lamps are like looking directly at old Reel movie projector bulbs when lit up, blinding, may as well weld without a hood.
