Headlights problem #1

Vehicle is having a problem with light deception. Light visibility is only 15 to 20 feet ahead. Driver must use high beams to get distance vision.

Headlights problem #2

We have had problem with our range of forward vision while using high intensity discharge headlights in low beam at night. The first 60 to 80 feet beyond the headlights are well lighted, but we can not see adequately beyond the lighted area. We have confirmed the problem by having other friends make the same observations. We are not sure if it is an illumination problem (I. E. , enough light beyond the well lit perimeter) or human eye problems (too much light in the foreground causing the iris of the eye to not adjust for beyond the lighted perimeter). We are very anxious about driving in the mountains at night. We suggest you look into the problem. Dt.
