FWIW, I agree with Mike about the reflectors. However in my opinions, the
roads around Mt Wilson have too many twists and turns to need high power
headlights anyway. You can't see around the mountain no matter how bright
your headlights are.
Plus there's still enough light pollution from LA that you could almost
drive without headlights anyway. Just aim between the reflectors <Grin>
