Description of the problem | My car has projection headlights. On a dark road, it appears as though there is a black curtain over the top half of my windshield. Road visibility is limited by this, this would be the cut off line where below the line there is light and above it is total darkness. On back roads where there are no street lights, this is a horrible blind spot that is worsened by going down hills and around curves. Going down a slope causes the projection to be shortened to immediately in front of the vehicle. If there were pedestrians or animals beyond this area, they would be invisible. Driving over bumps in the road make the cut off line bounce around, quickly becoming annoying as well as dangerous. Anything above this cut off line is invisible, such as road signs. On a perfectly straight and level road the lights are bearable. |
