I did, but the video quality gets downgraded to shit. I should upload the proper video but I didn’t have it mic’d up tonight.

What did you use for that? Looks pretty good through the compression.

Great night for it, but I suspect our weather was a bit different.

I, too, just returned from a Night Drive. Took the Mustang through some tight twisties out in the sticks. Love the lack of traffic!

I have these fancy directional headlights that turn with the wheel. I’m still not sure if they are any kind of advantage or just an expensive thing to break.

Both yall need Jesus if that’s somehow nice weather for a drive lol. Even though that’s non-freedom units it’s still cold. Here it’s about 60F at night so it’s finally some sweater weather. I’m going to guess that’s like 18C without looking it up.

Our two Mazda’s had that. I never found it to be that useful

I’m a loon and was scraping puck this afternoon with sunny 46 F . I know I shouldn’t but I just do because only 3 weeks left of insurance and rain is coming . :(

I bought a Fiesta ST today. Love it, so much fun. It's a 16 with only 8.5k miles.

I’ve loved them in every car I’ve experienced them in. They’d be wonderful during most of the gif you posted. You really notice on a dark windy road.

Thanks. Magnetic, with sunroof, auto climate and sync 3.

Got a new job working nights recently. The drive home in the dark when no one else is out is so nice.

Night drives are fun...I really want to put some extra lights on the Accent so I can see a little more clearly at night :)

They are both. Lol.

Mine’s fitted with the moving headlights (do your foglights illuminate in the direction you indicate and/or when using a lot of steering input. Many VAG cars, Fords, Vauxhalls, etc... do here), and I think it does help, but it’s just not that noticeable unless you concentrate, which you wouldn’t be, because your driving and that takes precedence .

Though the video is of an Octavia, my Superb does it. I love it, it’s like a little dance.

Neat. Driving is one of the best things to do on a night off, but sometimes I wish I didn’t smack dab in the middle of the city. There’s a unique feeling to driving out of a suburb and into the city lights that you just don’t get when you’re already there.

I like magnetic. I wish I had sync 3.

Did you get Recaro seats?

You’re title pic looks like a scene from a David Lynch movie.

I think it may be that I don’t often drive curvy roads in this car that aren’t in the city and well lit. My country driving is in long straight highways mostly. They head lamps do cost over $3K to replace though.

Just had a look on a U.K. parts supplier.

Depending on the type of headlight, they are between £300 and £750 (with all necessary bulbs), though there is currently a 30% discount.

I think when Piglet needed a new rear light after some idiot damaged it parking their car, VW quoted the garage doing the repair, £800. I kept the damaged rear light as it was in fact only scuffed. I polished it out and gave the old one to a taxi driver as he'd have more chance of needing it. Lol.

No Recaro seats. I’m a 5'10, 280 and my elderly mom needs to get in it. It’s a new world for me. My smallest past car was a fox body Mustang. It just begs to be beat on and chucked around. I see tickets I my future, Lol
