High Beams at night

[Mogebear]

Do you turn it off or let it on?

[TimeTimes]

If there are no street lamps, I turn on my high beams.

However, I turn them off when another player is driving towards me. Once they've passed, I turn them back on again.

I turn the high beam off when traffic is coming.

[Hawkmusen]

I usually use it on highways and canyon roads where there are no lights.

Heya @Mogebear!

yeah, I turn my high beams off if there's oncoming traffic, since I got some more than ususal on my truck. 

Are you doing it aswell? Since you got some lights on your bullbar too

Yes, i turn my off too. But this isn´t my truck, its just an online pic haha

It is my pet peeve when people don't turn off their high beams approaching me, especially when their truck is plastered with lights.
I always give them a long flash, and sometimes people get the clue and turn them off

I couldn't agree with this quote more! 

 

I will always turn my high beams off if there is incoming traffic and appreciate others that do it for me too! 

[The Englishman]

Voted no as i'd technically have to have them on in order to turn them off.  Other people having them on don't bother me as the lights aren't realy that bright when compared to actual vehicles in real life.

[L-DR@GO]

Naa

Mine is used as light horn...

[Tσmmy]

Sometimes I use it because the road is too dark, but mostly I use it to warn other drivers and greet my friends.

[Guest Rebeloutlaw22]

As for me I generally will turn my high beams off when I see somebody coming towards me but depending on the type of traffic that is ahead of me and the type of road conditions that I'm on I might leave my high beams on. However I don't have the front of my truck lit up with lights I literally just have the standard headlights which have low beam and high beam and then I have four little high beam lights on the grill. Something I have always wondered though is does the high beams actually affect other people's vision because for me I don't see a difference

[xLucky13Britx]

if the lighting was better id turn mine off but I A have my graphic turned down because I'm reducing lag that combined with bad lighting  I struggle to see without the high beams

Some Player's using them day or night dosen't matter when you try to explain them when you see oncoming traffic need the turn off the highbeams most of them just ignore you.

[Anglah99]

I always turn them off for upcoming traffic, even if people won't do the same for me

[Interstate Nomad]

If i use the high beams (only outside of cities, mind you), I will turn them off whenever opposite traffic approaches.

[dragonslayingmaster1000]

Well it's not a huge deal to turn off high beams because they don't really blind you in this game but I would still do it for realism.

[Foobrother]

I find it more immersive and challenging to have them on and turn them off when someone comes in the other direction.

 

But it would be great to limit people from adding more than 3-4 high beam lights on their truck. It's just stupid, unrealistic and very annoying for others when people drive with all of them On.

You either have 3-4 max or the system prevents you from turning them On if you have more. Would be great  

[Cups1237]

Depends, I tend to just keep them off...cause it seems like most players (at least on Promods sever) do it "correctly."

[Kael.]

I always use the low beam, I don't see the need to turn on the high beam, except when the road is very dark, otherwise I don't use the high beam. 

[[MCG] Bεnnεt [GER]]

I also always use the low beam, because most streets have lights, so there is no reason for me to use my high beams.

[58RS]

It is necessary to open it in some places, for example in dark places, but I think it is not right to open it in busy places such as c-d 

[Leo Blue]

My pleasure to reply it 

 

In fact , I cannot screct my final answer . maybe we should communicate with different situation

When I am driving , high beam wont be turned on in mostly times, in anothor case , I will turn it on when no drivers who are going towards to me or in front me . but in sometime I will use it to get more players' attention.

 

Best wishes

I don't feel the high beams make much of a difference for my vision when another player is approaching. I still prefer to have them off though
