Re: Automatic Headlights

The full beam and what it does is really very clever. In well lit areas, as you know, it is off giving normal dipped beam headlights. Very dark and they’re on and in full effect. Coming up behind a car on a very dark road the blue "hi beam" light stays on but the pattern is adjusted to avo...
