nice one! nice explanation...mao jud na akoang huna huna...tungud sa japanese design na. pero wa ko nakahuna-huna ug ingana diay ang design sa headlights.

maski unsa pa na, surplus man or local replacement, duna man unta adjustments. ang pangutana, ngano dili man nila i adjust ug tarong? duna baya na proper calibration.

why r multicab drivers way paki sa ubang motorists? siga2x ra sa ila high beams...

imho: sometimes ang multicab would feel inferior sa mga uban "bigger" sakyanan...not just sa size but also sa lighting conditions...naa man gud uban naka.HID pero dli projector so sakit ghapon kaau sa mata...and mostly ani mga multicab are jeepneys...meaning wlay tint..so kailangan nila mag.high para in a way "maka.baws sa kasugat"..

ang level sa headlight sa mga SUV are on the line of sight sa driver sa multicab...so meaning, bsan naka.LOW and light sa SUV, sakit ghapon sa mata sa multicab driver...which would trigger them to put the lights on HIGH...much more, ang level sa headlight sa multicab is on the line of sight sa driver sa awto...so same reaction would go to them....

that's just my insight though....

Nope, multicabs and other cars have the same light output, providing the comparison is stock to stock (55w low beam and 65w high beam). They just have their light projected the wrong way.

Eye level of multicabs are also more or less the same as SUVs. Cars have lower eye levels than multicabs.

To correct this, it's either they buy local left hand drive headlight reflectors or adjust their headlight beams so low that they don't shine their beams on the oncoming cars. This is the same with what I did on my surplus car, very low headlight beam positioning since walay left hand drive headlights available for my model.

I also don't see the reason ngano mag "baws" sila sa kasugat. If wala kay tint mas maka klaro man ka sa dalan ana, so you don't really need much light output. This is also one of the reasons why I don't have my car tinted... my headlights are right hand drive headlights and they are adjusted so low that I only see 5-10 meters ahead of me in low beam mode.

Bitaw sa allignment na sa headlights,
pero naa man pud nay low, puwede man tingale magpa-low kung naay sugat.
SOP man tingale na kung mag-drive ug gabii.

dman tanan ing.ana bai .. naa man puy tao kabalo mu respetar sa kasugat. kung mag high beam ang multicab dnaman sad ko kita sa liba.ong sa dalan ... mao mana akong na experience sa akong multicab. kung mag high beam sa dalan tabla rag wala koy suga except kung sa dalan nga wala juy lain light source kay maklaro na.
