Hi Nicole,
The white line should only be in your peripheral vision, as is the
on coming headlights. You should look as far forward as you may possibly
see, and maybe a little to the right to avoid being blinded by the
light.

Orange (Amber) lenses will also help with the glare in rain, ice, and snow. I always
carry mine in the Jeep for just that reason. I have problems seeing if its really
wet and there is a lot of traffic - its the glare from the lights that is the
problem. Deffinitely try new wiper blades.

LOL Nathan, too funny.... my night vision is lacking, too. And can't
see ---- in the Jeep sometimes (like Nicole mentions) in heavy rains,
no matter how new my wipers are (although I'm fine in the wife's Neon,
so there really *IS* something specific to the Jeep in this I think).

Just reminded me of one of the reasons I ended up being a 60-gunner at
Bragg... they started me as a driver (we had Jeeps still at this time,
switched to Hummers half way thru my enlistment), and I was driving
using blackouts (no goggles). Drove the Jeep right into a ditch, and
pretty much threw the guy currently manning the 60 out of the vehicle.
We got out OK, but as I was climbing back into the driver's seat,
Sergeant said, 'Moller, get on the 60'. Match made in heaven after
that hehehehe.

Anyway, back to the original post... one thing I have noticed is that
the stock headlights are very weak IMO. Maybe try some type of Halogen
replacement?
