Love lots of lighting...but...only for slow going like off roading.
IF going FAST, then eyeballs need to be looking out there to provide time to adjust (swerve, brake, etc) and with low beams one...might cause a enough of a distraction to miss whatever is 'out there' in the distance...
There is a metric that should be considered for multiple sources of lighting when going fast and has to do with shadowing vs eyeball height. Gotta see enough detail and that shadow to make out distance (time to swerve or brake). Too bright will wash out that depth perception
You're eyes must be older than mine, because my 2 hour drive over 3 mtn passes this morning was pure bliss compared to before.
If I wasn't clear, I am talking about the OE driving lights that only come on with low beams. Not sure how those could be an issue??
Depth perception? Yup, now I can see everything from the bumper to the end of the high beams. Winning!
Just like on my personal truck, low/high/fog lights is way better than the OE high beams alone. Add in the couple Hellas hitting both shoulders and that truck is even better to drive in animal country.
Now to get the pin outs from the BCM for our other vehicles.
All it is, is hooking the high beam relay signal to the driving lights relay signal. Poof! More light, like the factory shoulda built it.
