Well as said there's a sort of nearly plug n play option, in not fitting the sensors etc.. but I think we're the same mindset, rather do it properly and as factory. On the way to work today and opposite me at the junction there's a prat with main beam on. I flashed him, then left mine on to dazzle him back, to no avail, he/she just sat there oblivious. So I then negotiate the junction, and drive up the road with a peppering of green spots in my eyes, able to make rough approximations of where cars are etc.. And that particular street people/cars walk/pull out without looking frequently. So cheers for that mate, after 30 seconds or so I was able to see where I was going again 

Maybe treat it as a summer job - after very light until well after 9pm, you know, and not horrible and cold either? Gives you a while to make sure you have all the bits ready, cleaned up/tested too.

And that is precisely what is wrong with people

Well in fairness I was trying to alert him/her to the fact their main beam was on! There were no other vehicles in the direct line of my headlamps. And as I saw a van from a sidestreet in the distance turn, so in a moment he would be facing me, I switched them ofk. Also don't forget that the original car driver was in no danger of being dazzled by me - they weren't looking at my headlamps, they were busy on their phone, texting, chatting, doing their makeup, whatever. Totally unaware of their surrounding. That's the killer - inattentiveness.

I've done it, unaware that I have accidentally knocked my stalk forward, only to notice another driver flashing me; And very glad I was that that happened, off the main beam went, and a friendly wave of thanks/apology. In my defence, there was me thinking jealousy, disrespect for other cultures and beliefs greed and an over-commercialised consumer society-wide attitude is what is wrong with people - perhaps it's people flashing other people informing them that their headlamps are on.

Yep, no point trying to educate the perennially stupid.

Indeed, that's the sort of trying leads stress induced heart attacks and an early grave

Easier just to ignore it and move on imho

Anything other than a full retrofit, complete with automatic levelling and washers, would be irresponsible for OOF to make a guide on. Hence there isn't one. Retrofitting autolevelling would be challenging, and all Omega headlights are poor, including HIDs.

Good bulbs and polish up the lenses until crystal clear Shack

Resurrecting this old thread, I now have 2 new headlamps with crystal clear lenses. Just waiting for some more Nightbreakers.
