Well guys, you oughta be on the "receiving end" of those bright lights. At three AM there's nothing like contending with one of our own approaching with lights so bright you cannot see 100' in front of your truck. Do the rest of us a favor... if you're going to do something with really bright headlights/running lights, make sure you have a way of cutting them off to prevent blinding approaching traffic.

 

I do, if your low beams are properly angled with a set of projectors the light will light about 300 feet infront of the truck really well, and will light the ditch extremly well.

I also do not run as bright of a bulb in my low beam as I do my high beam. I will run the ultra brights in the high beams, and I do shut them off when a traffic is coming the other direction.

The ones you see who blind you have thier lights adjusted too high and to the left.

 

i drive a solar powered truck and proud of it but i also dont have a choice most of the time. or i will be in deep trouble with the law. they dont like to see an oversize load running in the dark in most states!

 

Or some kind of ultra-bright in the running lights/angled improperly. Last time I said something about it on CH19, the response I got was along the lines of, "I ain't got time to take care of that s^*t!"

IMO, those "headache blue" bulbs just ain't appropriate for a CMV though.

 

I dont like the blue bulbs, the ones I run produce a really white light.

And if some one doesnt have the time to fix something as simple as thier headlights, they dont need to be behind the wheel of a truck...

 

i only run the moose lights in northern canada--and they are usually turned off a few miles ahead of time---at times my eyes are very light sensitive--so i dont screw around with bright lighting other people--if i am on the interstates i just leave my lights on dim all the time
on a sidenote--anybody know of any good glasses for night wear?

 

I dont hardly ever run my brights on the interstate, really usually no reason to, but depending on the weather, road and traffic conditions some times I do.

 

A yellow lens will do it for you. I know the last few days I was wearing some that are safety glasses, when I took them off it was like someone turned out the lights.

 

and chances are those weather, road , or traffic conditions, will be difficult to drive in for both of us. Therefore, should I encounter your sort, and I do not get some dimmed out lights, I'll hit you the all my lights! On BRIGHT.

IF, on the other hand, you're like me and only run the brights when there is no opposing traffic, we'll get along just fine.

Happy trails.
