The goal of headlights isn't to throw as much light as high as possible but rather to light up the road in front of you and have a good, solid cut off line. This provides contrast to help you see yet doesn't blind oncoming traffic.
I live in the country.
When I say country, I mean bum-fuck-nowhere. You can't always have your high beams on. I feel the beam doesn't go far enough forward, and then the high beams seem to never end.


I guess that in my opinion the headlights are a little too focused. I came over from a '91 Civic wagon. Those lights sucked (was probably just my bulbs that are due), but it's as if I prefer them since they spread what little light they emit better.




I drive with my lights set at 1. 0 is the highest setting. The adjustment seems pointless to me if I'm truthful. I've never though "HEY! You know what would be great? If I could only see 3 feet in front of my car!"
