set the aim of your headlights right & find out if you suffer night blindness!

 

aim is given in %, thus if it says 1.5% then for each 1m from the headlight it drops 1.5cm, so at 5m that would be 7.5cm that the dip beam is below the centre of the headlight.

 

Find a flat bit of ground, mark out either 5m or 10m from the glass of the centre of the headlight lens, find the distance from the ground to the centre of the headlight lens and mark this same distance on a plank of wood, calculate the drop from the percentage for the 5m or 10m and mark this line that distance beneath the other line, put you lights on dip beam and hold the plank with the relevant end on the ground at the 5m or 10m point, the cut-off of the upper edge of the intense part of the dip beam should be on the lower line, if not adjust the head lights so the dip beam is on or just beneath the lower line.

 

Your lights are then correctly set.

motor vehicle construction and use regulations state that you cannot use spotlights on the front of a vehicle above 1.2metres high, you can however have them fitted but its illegal to use on the road, thats why mine are on the front of the bonnet:thumbup:

HI mate thank for that but the lorrys i see here on the mendips they pick up stone lorrys all have large spot on roof and i have send land roof bars thank jon

[b101uk]

Fitting spotlights to the roof is why your having trouble seeing on dip beam because your eyes are adjusted to the reflected light from the top bonnet/wings etc when on main beam, also any light fog or mist causes it to glair up in front of the windscreen,

 

To much main beam light is contributing to you eyes having to adjust to less light on dip.

 

There must be an element of night blindness given I find standard sealed beams more than enough and spend my time driving mostly on dip beam.
