Just silly question
 

Just wondered if anyone knows why they took the headlight dimmer switch from the floor a couple of years ago? Just curious..

:confused:

The last headlight dimmer I saw mounted on the floor of a vehicle was in my father's 1987 Ford F-150.

halogen vs hid?

For the young ones that never drove late 50-80's American cars? There was a button you stepped on near the driver kick panel on the floor board that activated the high beams. Imports traditionally didn't come that way since theirs was activated at the signal stock.

yah, but you can't dim HID's like halogen?

i had that in my old nova :tup:

Next we are going to be talking about the 64 dart with a push button transmission..

I am older than dirt, and we used to drive on square tires (Bias Ply).. Before we had Radial tires..

But I haven't seen dimmer switches on Cars/Trucks since 1987..

Funny how some dont even know what I am talking about when I mention that button on the left hand side of the floor :)
..and yes I once had a car with push button transmission! It was an old car given to me by my wife's grandfather but it was a Nash Rambler with push button transmission.. Quite the high tech wonder!

Funny you should have to explain this..:) Were they even there in the 80s?

Yes, me lad, it was true! :)

I bet some here dont even remember ash trays :) and can you even get a car without power brakes and steering?

We lived through many things...

Like once you can drive and corner cars with Bias Ply tires, No traction control, and manual Steering, all this new technology is just a bonus...

Many don't know how good they have it... I learned on really old technology and all this new stuff just makes me a better driver..

Paddle shifters, ect...way cool stuff...Traction control I only use for daily driving..When I get on it, I like to have full power...i have had the car sputter into hard turns due to the slip light on the 350Z, and that was the last time I did that.

I come from the land of drifting, way before they called it drifting..We just called it getting sideways...

Older cars are so primitive..But I still love to drive both of my Z's...Two different animals..Both hard to tame..Just the way i like it.

And yes, my 1971 Z/28 has a dimmer switch...

Hey, I'm only 22 and I knew what you were talking about! The "couple years ago" did throw me off, though ;)

i was asking why you'd want that in your Z, silly. :icon17:
