Using high beams on a divided highway?

You are not meeting yourself.

It causes wide glare to others.

 

I don't see what the deal is with not turning them off. After all it is part of the thing called driving. The times I use high beams, my hand is right near the switch, ready to turn them off before traffic crests a hill.

Anything else is just being lazy and seeing how you can push the rules. I bet the first time you left your high beams on, you were looking for someone to flash you back.

We never had these problems before. But today I see more younger drivers leaving their high beams on. They don't remember anything they were taught and use their own analogy of how things should be.

 

It became more of a problem when the cars started having automatic dimmers on them.

Then the drivers became more concerned with their own vision and do not care about other drivers.

 

There's a screw on the bottom and one on the side. Screw it in and out. It will take the light either to the left/right or up/down. Really simple to do.

 

There's 3 adjusting perimeter screws around the perimeter of the housing. They are preset at the factory and shouldn't need adjusted.

If the truck had body work, it might need it then if the housing was replaced. The proper way is to use the repair manual. The vehicle is parked X amount distance away from a wall and a tape measurer is used to find where the height and angle are suppose to be. You can free hand it and get close.

I worked with one weiney head one time. I come to work at 4 am and he's out there adjusting his low beams way up in the air. I asked him what he was doing. He said he wanted to see better, lol. I told him that's what your high beams are for. He had a dumb look on his face.

I had to use his truck one night and everybody was flashing me, lol. I turned the high beams on and they would light up the tree tops.

 

It depends on the type of housing and bulbs the vehicle uses. Every manufacturer tends to make the housings a little different and will put the adjusters in different areas. Has nothing to do with Ford or not. It is the engineer that screws up everything for us. LOL

 

I just adjusted the ones on the T2000 I drive. The light instruction said to pull up to something(my privacy fence) at about 3 foot. Then mark the bottom of the light beam and back off 40 foot, I believe it was. Then adjust the light where the beam was on your mark.

These headlights were way off. One was pointing to the ditch and the other in space. Someone obviously had screwed with them. It took no time to do and is well worth it.

This truck only had two adjusting screws per light. One on the side and one on the bottom. At least that is all I seen.
