My old car low beams aren’t very strong. I’ve tried cleaning the headlight and everything.

At night, I drive on a ton of washed out looking roads and some roads that lack proper lines (water on side of roads).

I’m throwing the high beams on. They’re only as bright as probably 90% of people’s regular lights. Old Camry I drive.

Why? Maybe they like to see when they are driving and not plow into a head-on?

that happens when high beams blind the driver in the other lane who now can’t see.

I think my work truck just has high beams. No regular

WD40 cleans them very well. Like new.

i agree with you but many new vehicles have dim lights that are brighter then the high beams on a 1990-2010 vehicles, especially trucks that are jacked up high to make it even worse

if they did turn on the actual high beams then you you really couldnt see shite

Because Boosie said so.

"riding through the city with my high beams on"



Fact: 5% tint makes you invulnerable to assholes behind you with high beams.

Wife’s new suv has those super bright led lights. Literally every other car flashes is now. It’s get annoying quick.

If there’s a way to change the angle I haven’t seen it.

I've been pretty impressed with my auto high beams. The other night I was driving down a pitch black winding road, high beams on. High beams cut off before I saw a car approaching a 2 way stop intersection (I didn't have the stop sign) from the right.

I run high beams on I20 due to deer unless I’m in a curve where my lights are shining directly at oncoming.
