Here's something from my conversation with Daniel Stern that I had not seen in this thread yet, hopefully it's not a repost: "One not-very-well-publicised trick for improving your seeing in bad weather with those headlamps is to remove the low beam headlamp bulbs and find the stamped "awning" plate protruding rearward from the vertical metal cutoff plate that blocks roughly the lower half of the view forward through the bulb hole. Use something clean and grippy (eraser end of a brand-new pencil, for instance) to reach forward through the bulb hole and push/fold that awning down so it covers more of the "window" slot in the lower portion of the cutoff plate (you can see the slot, albeit with optical distortion, if you kneel down in front of the headlamp and peer carefully through its front lens). It is not necessary for the awning to be folded so it's flat up against the slot, just bend it down most of the way. This will greatly reduce the amount of light thrown upward by the low beams. You'll still be able to read overhead signs, but there'll be much less backscatter." I did not get this done when I did my install, I couldn't get a clear view/access that far into the headlight housing without removing the complete airbox and battery, or it's possible you would have to pull the headlights out completely to do this. Neat idea though, down the road when I have more spare time I might try it out.
