Why are headlights of multicabs always on High Beam?

[jangska]

---

Tungod na nga ang alignment sa headlights ana is for right hand drive countries (i.e. Japan, where the CKD units come from) where mas higher ang left side nga beam compared sa right. Only way to prevent glare in this situation is to adjust the headlight to make it lower than the normal aim. Or buy new left hand drive reflectors/headlights.

Something like this:

Right hand drive headlight beam (Japan, U.K., New Zealand, etc)


Left hand drive headlight beam (Philippines, U.S.A., Taiwan)

+1 sakto jud kaayo pag ka explain...

Actually wala man namo gi initan ang multicab, if you backread thru the posts you will notice that I'm explaining my side as to why it seems that they are always on high beam.

I also believe that it is also your responsibility as a forumer to backread through the discussion before reacting or commenting.

And since this IS a forum, posts regarding "multicab having high beams" doesn't mean that YOU are always on high beam or your lights are misaligned. So no need to get defensive.

ako.a lang ayaw pud tawn e generalize nga tanan nalang .. nag ilis man gani ko ug Hella H4 headlight housing arun d maka sagabal sa kasugat..

Then the posts mentioned doesn't apply to you. The posts are there to serve as an information pool for those multicabs that still have their stock JDM headlights installed and are aligned higher than it is supposed to.

It just sounds generalized because multicabs (Suzuki Every, Daihatsu HiJet, etc) come from knock down units from Japan and are assembed with their stock right hand drive headlights. The resellers/importers don't bother to refit them with left hand drive headlights because that would raise the cost (less profit).

This topic here is to educate and inform multicab users (or future multicab users) of the headlight problem when they purchase/use these units. IT IS NOT A FLAME THREAD nga nag reklamo nalang ta suwaw kaau mga headlights because that would not get us anywhere.
