When I was a little girl my dad always drove a Pontiac, and the headlight dimmer switch was on the floor where we could'nt see it. The indicator light on the dash was shaped like an Indian Head and lit up when the bright lights were on. When we met a car our dad would dim the lights with his foot but he always told us the Indian saw the oncoming car and dimmed the lights for him. Later when we bought a new car it did'nt have an Indian head. My sister and I were really worried that the oncoming traffic would be blinded by our bright lights.Boy were we gullible!
