That and the fact that there never/rarely aimed properly is why there are called fag lights in the trucking community.
because they are FOG lights, not driving lights. if youve ever driven in fog, you know how useless high beams are (they reflect off the fog and blind you). if you turn your high beams on, vehicle manufacturers assume you arent in fog so they turn the fog lights off..thus reducing glare for other drivers.
I think if you have your high beams on glare for other drivers is a moot point.
On my F-150 you have to have the headlight switch turned on to be able to pull out on it to engage the fog lights. But when you throw the stalk ahead to engage the bright lights the fogs automatically shut off.
i deal with this on almost a daily basis while commuting in the escort. im a FWD car in the midst of jacked-up, 4x4, poser country. the trick is to hit the brakes JUST fast enough to collect insurence money...but without hurting yourself
I used to hate that with my Laser, don't know what the big kick in doing it is. One of the many reasons I don't have a car anymore.
but yeah, it cracks me up when I see some dude, usually in full-size lifted Chevy, that doesn't have a clue they need to readjust their headlights. I think I'm done gettin' mad though, I think I'm gonna get a badge...
