Description of the problem | Hi beams are very ineffective and dangerous. They shine too high and light up the trees but not the road ahead. Live in a very rural area with many deer and this is of concern. If the dealer lowers the beam then that makes the low beams worse where they were ok. So adjusting the height of the hi beam is not the solution as it then makes the low beam too low. It's more a design flaw with the reflectors i believe. Only really noticed the issue once we changed daylight savings time and i started driving more at night on rural roads. Which now being winter is more and more common for me so it is a concern when having to use the hi beams. |
