Thanks bud, I'll give it try for sure.

Driving with high beams is still preferable to the old folks (my grandpa included) who thought they got better mileage by saving the battery thus turned ALL lights off for the most part unless someone was coming the opposite direction.

And don’t get me started on his turning the engine off while going down hills. It was quite the eye opening experience the first time he did this with vacuum assisted brakes.

And on the interstate too. It's like they think bc there's a grass median between the two sides of the interstate that theres enough buffer that they won't blind you.

But the worst is these idiots that have their brights on behind you. That shits obnoxious from several hundred yards away, but they'll leave it on even when they get right behind you. I let those people pass me, then I get right on their arse and shine my high beams behind them so they know how annoying it is

I have auto high beams. Don’t really know how to turn them off. Also don’t really care some random car gets blinded for .5 seconds

It's always somebody in a dark colored car too.

Always some dark grey car that blends in perfectly with the fog and rain clouds. The army pays good money for camouflage technology that doesn't work half as well

It's mostly people leveling their trucks and not adjusting their headlights afterwards.

its not just lifted vehicles. in my subdivision I routinely experience people dim their lights as they approach, only to turn their brights back on immediately after they pass.

When i was growing up only time the brights were used was late night on rural highways (basically so you could see deer). somewhere along the way people just got used to high beams though which is absurd cause you dont need them 90% of the time.

You should correct your light angle then




Sometimes it's that, but I also think some people are just oversensitive and think anything other than 1980s beams are brights.

It's called auto high beams and it's standard on plenty of vehicles today.

I hate the bright leds behind me, that shite goes off my mirrors and right into my eyes. Like wtf? I had to just slow down the other night so the frick behind me would pass me. Couldn't see shite.

Well yeah dude... That's what you're supposed to do.


Although I'd think most subdivisions would be lit well enough already that you wouldn't need your bright lights anyway

Still have it on my Chevelle. I hardly ever use the switch because I don't drive the car at night, or in bad weather, but I do often click em on and off for fun.

Because there are too many people that can't see well enough to drive at night.
