Re: night rain
if its just dark with no rain then im ok, the glare on the road in the rain
makes it so i cant focus on the white line, and when my wipers go it ------s
the water out, and creates one big glare. i think ill try to rain-x and new
wiper blades and super clean washer fluid. i'll set up a dr's appt. and see
what they say.. if i have night blindness at 18, i'll feel like im falling
apart already like my jeep :) Thanks for all the input guys!

Good wipers shouldn't ------ the water at all except maby round the edges
a bit. Your wipers are hard/old.
If you had night blindness ordinary night driving would affect you.
One thing that can help is clear polarized driving glasses. They eliminate
oncomming glare and make it easier to see for some.

Re: night rain
I also live in a mountainous forested area.
When the road is wet, most of the light reflects off of it, and you will
only see light that hits an object and reflects back, like a skunk, rock,
tree, upside-down Jeep, etc. In the worst conditions, you don't see the road
at all.
I have my right headlamp adjusted out to the right, so that it lights up
more of the roadside. If I know where the edges are, I can stay between
them. Jeep headlamps are pretty high off of the road, running foglamps as
low to the ground as is practical for you would help to spot objects. If you
don't off-road, or go into deep snow, mounting below the bumper would be
best. You don't really need to see the pavement, it's the objects on it that
cause problems. When I get near that blind spot, I look to see that there
won't be a head-on, and then I look at the right shoulder of the road, and
try to avoid the natural tendency of looking at the headlamps of the
oncoming vehicle.
