why ppl like to High Beam?

Sometimes, under "normal" beam the lamp is set to high. So the driver does not know that they are irritating you. When you go for annual veh check, there is...

u can choose to adjust the rear view mirror back to the highbeamer?

what a joke... then u want to see wat?

at least safer then being blinded by the high beam

you sure? What about original E9 and Ralliart. Both have tiltable HID lamps
Just that Its no as bright as the Beemers or odyssey.

Anyway, yes, its true that taller cars beams may look brighter if you r driving a saloon car. For eg. RX300 behind me who is in a lancer. Lucky window got tinted abit, at least block off the 100% effect of it. Maybe if LTA set the rules of tilting down on the beams would help. I heard that there are some type of tinted sticker which you put on the glass would help to reduce the glare.

Another eg. would be a van or lorry behind you. Although they not using HID or zeonT but it is still very glaring. I have buses the most. So high and bright can shine through my whole car. KnN

There is such a thing as an appropriate response. On the roads, it is better to lose out than to be kiasu.

Remember the taxi driver who tried to scare the motorcylist and ended up killing him.

Sure, sometimes I get irritated by other drivers or motor but I always ask myself, do I really want to kill him or somebody for doing that? Then I cool down.

But seriously i don't get it. usually when a car is currently using highbeam, a blue indicator on the instrument panel will appear in every single car. Some are even aware of that and yet, heck care. "hig or low, what's the diff!" I'll "F" any idiot who says that. as for others, are they that oblivious to what's is on the instrument panel? Other than paying attention to the fuel gauge, odometer and maybe the speedo once in a while, do you even look at the panel in front of you when something lights up? Or worse i even seen ppl driving in the the dead of the night, with the lights not even on at all. Don't tell me they adjust their radio, air con or any other control by touch ah? maybe for SG cars they should change the blue highbeam light to red so, well for obvious reasons, make one think that there is something wrong and yes, you are travelling with your high beam on and blinding other road users.

I can relate to those who came across such drivers who drive with their high beam on... whether it is accidental or not cos i myself encountered many times before. It does really get on my nerves, but i'd usually slow down and let him overtake me... and then i'll flash that bugger Mr. Green

Was tailgated and highbeamed for a long distance just now till i changed lane, damn pissed with that idiot. Although i was in the first lane, I couldn’t have travelled any faster anyway, cos there were cars in front of me. Freak.

nOrmalbOi SG

Laughing

ceecookie SG

Hahhahaha....well not to anger u but i love to highbeam dark roads and people if i like it...

like there's a time where my uncle and i went to Sentosa...i saw a group of gals sitting by the roadside while walking to the carpark near the Musical Light show..later when we drove out of there, they were still there and feeling mischevious, i requested my uncle to highbeam them
i dare not look at them as the car pass it...scared loh Laughing Twisted Evil

And yea..we did make it clear to them we were indeed highbeaming them as once the headlight's ray was not at them anymore my uncle turned off the highbeam

And oh..i saw the gals squinching their eyes after being semi-blinded by the bright light...pity fog lights was not on to blind them even further Laughing

HID arent suitable for purpose like flashing as activating them for brief time before being deactivated will spoil it....need warming up i tink so...thats why i prefer the good old white light9what do u call em?) for flashing and highbeaming purpose
