Good question.  I have a 91 164S and I think I can tell the difference
between the modes, but just barely.  I've never had problems with the
lights.  Can anyone else claim there is a big, noticeable difference?

I can imagine a couple of reasons why they don't.  I suspect that they have
to be very careful everytime they say something (esp in print) in todays
litigious society.  Also, they don't have a product to sell (aside from
spare parts).
