    High beam / low beam reversed

    Hello, does anyone of you already know this ? I have the feeling that my high beam is on in the switch position of the low beam. I noticed from the beginning that the daytime running light was extremely good. Now in the dark season I get more and more dazzled by oncoming vehicles. Then in high beam mode, the light actually gets dimmer. When I checked the front of the headlight, I noticed that in the low beam the upper part of the headlight is lit and the other way around.

    There is no daytime running light, it is the dipped beam permanently on (top half of the headlight), and the low/high beam switch is clicked once for high beam (bottom half of the head light comes on as well) and the dash blue light comes on for High beam then click again to return to Low beam. :152: :821:

    Not sure if 'being dazzled by oncoming traffic' means that the drivers are flashing their lights at you as you blind them. If so - double check your headlight adjustment. Mine was aiming way too high from factory. It think the beam should drop around 10cm over 10m distance.

    Mine is also dipped lights on top of the cluster.

    I also had the feeling that it was too high. When I instaled the headlight guard I lowered it a bit. Quite easy minus the care to not scratch any of it.
    Safe roads to everyone

    Thank you very much for your feedback. Most of them were helpful because it was really just the headlight adjustment. I just misinterpreted that....
