I guess it's not just me feeling the headlights don't light up the
road far enough ahead. Was trying to find out which way to turn the
adjuster on my impreza, mainly the right side, since I don't think it
lights up the road ahead, far enough especially on left turning roads.
One that was tight with a curb and guard rail had me braking to slow
and see it. I found a forum where many had the same complaint. I
bought a combo Fog/Driving light from Hella, mainly for the fogs, but
figured the drivers combo may help seeing, especially for going to
star gazing locations in a state forrest, that is one of the reasons I
bought the car for, and would Love to get Night Vision to be able to
see deer and other critters, so I Don't hit them. The car was also
bought for trips to other remote areas.
The forum I read that the low and high beams are adjusted together,
and one guy said he made his high beans useless adjusting the lows
where he could see well. Maybe adjusted them too much. I just want
them to equal or come close to the sealed beams in my old Chevy. If
Not I'll have to use the drivers, or maybe the fogs will have a better
light pattern.
I recently took a ride to the state forrest location, and though my
eyes were damaged where most of the new lights bothered me, and Some
even made them burn, ache for hrs after, and feel grainy, now that is
Very rare, but I still don't like the Brighter lights, but driving a 2
lane in the darkness, it brought home how Every Car or truck has a
Different brightness, pattern, OR Color. It was hard to tell what was
what or where, and if someone might be passing, then there was One
Bizzare sight, where there was a wall of strings of triangular lights
on a large rectangular shadow across the road. Turned out to be a semi
turning onto the road, from the opposite side, and pulled onto the
shoulder to let the traffic pass. Must have been loaded since it was
accelerating slowly.
I tried to adjust my right headlight up, turning the bolt behind it,
and best I could find about what to do was, talk about an a 04 STi
Impreza, to turn The Screw Counter Clockwaise to raise the light. I
wouldn't call a bolt a screw, and not sure if an STi is the same, so
not sure if counter clockwise raises it, but I turned it about 1/16,
to see what that does. Going to have to park in front of a wall, or
drive it at night, to see if I did anything, or went the wrong way.
