I’ve taken my car to a million mechanics (including the dealership) and there’s some electrical problem causing my low beams not to work. I adjusted my high beams so they point as low as possible. Is this ok? Will I still blind people?<\/p>\n
Of course the best course of action would be to fix the issue. (most common cause would be the Multi-function switch) I would think any headlights are better than getting a ticket for driving without them. I’m sure it won’t take to many test drives at night to find out what oncoming drivers think about your headlight adjustment.<\/p>\n
As far as blinding people with your high beams, I can understand your concerns.<\/p>\n
Headlight aim has been preset at the factory and should need no further adjustment.<\/p>\n
However, if your vehicle is damaged in an accident, the headlight aim may be affected. Aim adjustment to the low-beam headlights may be necessary if it is difficult to see the lane markers (for horizontal aim), or if oncoming drivers flash their high-beam headlamps at you (for vertical aim).<\/p>\n
If you believe your headlights need to be re-aimed, it is recommend that you take the vehicle to your dealer for service.<\/p>\n
