i just took the msf class and the recommend riding with your high beam on. My problem is i bought piaa 4000k super whites which are bright. is there any one else out there with super whites that ride with there high beams on all the time. my buddies hate it when they are in front of me. also has anyone had drivers biitch about the brightness please let me know i want to ride safe without pissing everyone else off thanks

 

I run both with brighter bulbs all the time , I did adjust my high beam down lower so not to blind cagers.

 

Maybe run both during the day, and running at night... during the day it wont blind as much as at night. I was told to do both during the day, just cause its that much more the cagers can pick up on when they are in thier hum-drum day. Ive got 6000k Pure Blue's from luminicsbulbs.com... the blue doesnt blind as much as the white does I dont think, as I havnt had any complaints as of yet...


be safe,

Chris

 

>I have had 7 bikes in my life and I believe that the more people that see you on the road the safer you are .
just today while riding this lady waited until I was nearly on top of her before she decided to pull out of a side road (I forgot to put on the hi-beam) the look on her face looked like she didn't see me even though there were no obstructions near by .

so who cares if you blind the people driving cars/trucks in the day time better that they see you than not see you .

 

hey thanks for the advise

 

I use the high beams during the day unless I am stuck behind a car for a bit, and then I will lower them as a courtesy. That way I do not bling/ **** off the driver..no need to make new enemies when riding a bike

 

I run both during the day. Don't really ride at night but I usually only use the high beam when no cars at night. Dont want to blind people at night.

 

see the pic
<<<<<<<<<<<<&l t;<<

there to bright to be on full all the time in my opinion.

 

i was also wonder about how to lower the high beam. i have not looked at them since i put them in. please let me know how you guys do it thanks
