Pickup trucks headlights evaluated
Not HD trucks unfortunately: Pickup Mag I'll say that my F350 headlights are awful. I added an LED lightbar to the front to compensate. But its use is limited.

I wish the LEO's would start ticketing those drivers with the colored headlamps! Seems to me that would be a better money maker then a 7 MPH speeding ticket! The law does not allow high powered or colored headlamps and those bulbs are sold with the disclaimer "FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY"!

Earlier in this thread you wrote
"All I did was re-adjusted the headlights on my Ram. Parked in front of the garage door at night moved the right headlamp up one inch and the left headlamp half of an inch up. Truck was sitting about 20' from the door.
Now I can see just fine. The other drivers (mostly small cars) are not very happy but that's life. I try and make sure I'm over to the right a little at stop lights, otherwise the poor person in front of me get blinded (again small cars). "
Why are you against others blinding you, but have no problem blinding others?
Did I say anything about the colored headlamps blinding anyone???? Nope I didn't.
The issue with the colored lamps are they produce less light then a regular headlamp. That would be why the are sold for "OFF ROAD USE ONLY". I never said a thing about higher wattage lamps.
Also if you read my post you copied you will see I only moved the drivers side up one half of one inch and the passager side one inch with the truck sitting 20' from my garage door.
The issue is only with small low ridding cars and only seems to afect them when I'm sitting behinde them at a red light or stop sign. I have not noticed that I'm getting flashed anymore then I did before I bumped the lights up.
