headlight dazzle
10 Answers
my car like most have a manual headlight height adjuster
on my mot i asked the guy testing the headlight setting if the thumb wheel that sets the height should be at max for this test or set low,he said on its low setting,
this is wrong if its at its lowest setting when the headlights are being adjust by a
garage etc they cannot be set not to dazzle oncoming traffic if you have heavy load
in the rear hence setting the car on a rear squat as the adjuster is already at the
lowest set , the head lights should be set with that adjust at max then they can be lowered to compensate for a squat
,i think that why there are so many headlights dazzling you now (apart from the blueish zennons)
and i think a lot of drivers haven't a clue what the headlight adjuster is of if thev'e even found it

a lot of drivers are driving around the country not knowing rules of the road regarding lights :- ie foglights and headlights when they should be on or off so why should they know what the thumb wheel is for
the thumb wheel in my opinion should be set at zero when the car is running at normal driving conditions
if someone is in the back then it should be lowered
and if the car is tilting down for some unobscure reason it should be set at high
but then thats my opinion which may or may not be wrong
