Pickup trucks headlights evaluated

You have projector beam headlights. They are supposed to be like that so you don't blind oncoming drivers as much.
If you raise the housings up, you will get people flashing you because your light be be very bright in their eyes.

I meet other new model trucks on our county and rural state 2 lane highways that aren't very level. As the trucks front goes up momentarily their low beams are bright....and when the trucks front back goes down their lights look normal or very dim depending on angle of the truck. The affect at a distance looks like their flashing their head lights.

I know what you are saying.

And Im just saying it is what it is. If you adjust the housings higher to raise the cutoff, you will blind others and they will flash you because you are blinding them.

I have HID projectors in one of my vehicles. They are excellent, but have a very sharp cutoff line. The line you describe as not liking is the cutoff.


I personally think almost all headlights are way better than years past. But the downfall is, others lights are brighter as well and their lights restrict our pupils and makes our own lights appear dimmer in traffic. Also our own brighter lights reflecting off of large road signs, such as exit signs, reflect so much light it restricts our pupils as well.
