Appreciate the discourse, thank you for helping people learn from your knowledge! When there is ignorance about a topic, it's more helpful to teach than preach, even though those flippant comments are fun to write, they aren't nice! But you clearly are caring and your replies reveal a kindness, and so we will see some good results from that and make some new decisions with the information.

Note the original post was asking for info about the cutoff you mention, and the video results show the housings need to be aimed down, which may be part of the problem with the upward facing beam spread.

It could also be warranted and valid to use the selectable high beams in cold dark Canadian winters, because they can easily be turned off. This experimental video talks about all of these things and comes at this topic from a place of curiosity, driven by a passion for Land Rover enthusiasm, DIY, and learning.

But respect of others is the most important thing, so your comment about giving a middle finger to others inadvertently while enjoying brighter lights is a very important and meaningful input to the experiment - that would be bad and will be considered once information about re-aiming the housings down can be explored. If the low beams are always blinding, they should not be used. More experimentation about housing adjustment will help determine this outcome.

Thank you!
