Is the low beam set to position 3 too high?

[AndersonLynn]

No, the vehicle's low beam at position 3 is at a normal setting, capable of illuminating approximately 30 to 40 meters ahead, effectively ensuring driving safety. Low beam illumination distance: The low beam can illuminate about 30-40 meters. Experiments show that when driving at 55 km/h at night, the braking distance after spotting an obstacle is exactly 30 meters. Low beams must be turned on when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during dusk when it's darker, or at dawn when light is just appearing. They should also be used during heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain when visibility is poor, even during the day. In some areas where street lighting is insufficient, low beams should also be activated. Usage scenarios for low beams: Low beams must be used when driving in areas without streetlights at night, during darker periods at dusk or dawn, and in conditions of poor visibility such as heavy fog, snow, or heavy rain. They should also be turned on in areas where street lighting is inadequate.

I've been driving for many years and feel that setting the low beam to position 3 is indeed a bit too high. Generally, the light adjustment knob in a car ranges from 0 to 3, with higher numbers indicating higher beam angles. Position 3 is the highest, making the light shine farther but potentially dazzling oncoming drivers, especially on dark roads where it could lead to dangerous accidents. I usually recommend setting it to position 1 or 2, which provides good visibility while ensuring safety. If the car is fully loaded or the trunk is heavy, causing the rear of the vehicle to sink, the headlights will naturally rise, requiring a slight downward adjustment to balance the angle. Remember, the goal of adjustment is to optimize visibility without affecting others. Before driving, it's best to sit in the car and test the beam angle or refer to the owner's manual for guidance. Safety comes first—don't let a small oversight cause big trouble. Many cars now come with automatic leveling systems, but manual adjustment remains an essential skill.

Hey, as a car enthusiast, I often fiddle with the light settings, and setting the low beams to position 3 is really too high. Generally, increasing the number raises the brightness, and setting it to 3 elevates the beam by several degrees. Not only could this result in a fine from the police for shining directly into oncoming traffic at night, but it's also inconsiderate. I've tried driving on mountain roads with the setting at 3, and while it felt great, my friends complained it was too glaring. The correct approach is to adjust dynamically based on the load—keeping it at 1 or 2 when lightly loaded is most comfortable. Don’t forget to check if the bulbs are aging, as this can affect the beam angle. If necessary, you can upgrade to a smart system at a tuning shop, but make sure it’s within regulations. Driving is about courtesy, and soft lighting ensures a peaceful ride.

From a daily driving perspective, setting the low beam to position 3 is often too high. I usually adjust the knob to around position 2, as level 3 lighting in urban areas tends to directly glare at pedestrians and other vehicles, causing dissatisfaction or accidents. The numbers on the lamp bracket generally indicate increasing height, with 3 being the steepest; keeping it high for long periods not only wastes electricity but also shortens bulb life. A good method is to park on level ground, turn on the lights, observe if the light spot is too far, and appropriately lower it to a moderate position. It's simple, hassle-free, and ensures clear and safe nighttime driving.
