“Even some older cars had a mechanical system you could operate by hand with a lever to change the angle of your lights.”

As a kid my Dad LOVED Volkswagon - he’s had 17 of them through the years. I still have his 2001 Golf which is my ‘summer car.’

I remember he and Grandpa constantly fiddling with the headlights on those cars. ;)

My old Nissan Stanza had a side light that turned on when turning so you could see where you’re turning into.

Miss that feature.

I miss the cars that had the high beam/low beam button on the floor, operated by the left foot.
