Hi Folks,

My concern is the headlights on low beam do not do much of a job

lighting up the road. On high bean, more coverage is provided and

about what low beams on a car provide. I run at night on high beam

don't ever get high-beamed by on coming traffic. Aiming at the

the beams measure OK in vertical height when compared to the

height. I wonder if others have a similiar experience and has

done any replacement or experimenting? > Fred Kovol

Hi Fred,

I have the same opinion. The lights are a poor design and remind

So whatever you discover, please post and share your findings.

two coaches I think are within the same production block and I

think the systems would be alike in every respect.

Have the same problem with my '9 Allure--drive at night on high
