I'm not making a comparison with your Saab's headlights - I'm sure they're every bit as good as you state they are, but the best headlights I ever encountered were those on my '96 Accord. Nothing fancy, but Honda's people had a pretty good idea how design the reflectors to throw a beam down the road, too. The worst have to be the ones on my '03 Sonata. The Koreans seem incapable (indifferent?) to engineer decent nighttime illumination for some reason - even with projector style headlights. (They've been re-adjusted twice by two different Hyundai dealers. Has not helped a bit.)quote:

Correct in the context of this thread. Many of Sylvania's automotive bulbs now come from China. Although, I have seen several sizes sourced from Europe, and even a couple from the Fatherland.quote:
