I know people don’t pick cars just because they have effective headlights, but good ones don’t half make a difference.
The Mazda‘s standard Xenon lights are first rate. The beam is not only bright, but also gives an even spread across the road, and they come with a headlight wash as standard, too.
Having such good lights reduces the stress of driving in the dark – as I discovered during a recent journey late at night – making long trips less tiring, which can only be a very good thing.
