kenworth t680 brightest low beam headlights

You need to learn to drive with what you have.

I've had some pretty lousy lowbeams, and learned to drive with them.
Now that I have some choice, I buy Lowbeams that fit into the same socket with some/ (small) extra lumens.

Some of the LED setups will blind the heck out of othwer drivers, which can CREATE problems for you. If you have really bad night vision problems, you need to run daytime, not kill everyone else's night-vision.

 

Those LED bars are friggen EVERYWHERE! They've passed stupidity at this point.

 

I wouldn't have problem with the drivers running them if they would only learn to turn them off.
If you can see the headlights of on coming traffic, turn the light bars off.
They should turn them off long before dimming high beams when overtaking vehicles as well.
If cops started writing tickets, I'll bet it would reduce the misuse of these lights.

 

It will take some accidents because of these light bars/spot lights/super headlights and the gov will have some new regulation out.

Down side to that is that trucking wool be the focus but not the 4 wheelers that do the same thing.

 

i see those bars on mostly mexican trucks coming from laredo and cattle haulers.

 

You need to quit night driving if you cannot see at night. Don't be blinding the rest of us with some hooky headlight set-up.

The T680 has probably the best conventional projector headlights out there. Changing bulb types is just going to screw up that projector focal point and blind everyone. FYI the h11 and the 9006 is practically the same bulb. They are the same wattage and construction, so don't believe some internet crap about bulb upgrade.

And for everybody else sake don't put in one of those stupid HID kits. Those idiots with those arc welder lights conversions aught to be arrested.

 

Imagine if some of these people who can't drive without sun light type of lights on their trucks had to deal with old conventional seal beam lights that produce enough light to just see right in front of them.

 

Have you tried aiming your headlights? As others have noted, the T680 has great lights, but come from the factory aimed WAY too low. Aim your headlights properly first.

 

You know that I'm betting they are aimed right. When I get a new truck and had them checked in the past, they were right on. Don't remember when a new truck didn't have correctly aimed lights.

 

During my stint with Swift I had a chance to get into three brand new trucks, a Cascadia and two T680's. None of them had headlights adjusted high enough IMHO. The top of the low beams were aimed no more than 30' in front of the hood. The top of the high beams were still aimed slightly down, not even touching the side of a building at 100'.

I aim the top of my low beams to just touch the bottom of that building at 100'. Then the high beams will have better reach. After making adjustments I will ask other drivers if my low beams are comfortable for them and stop to adjust downward if there are any complaints.
