You get the same problem with old headlights as well when cresting a hill or headlights that aren't properly adjusted. Believe it or not but the difference between high and low beams is a bit more literal than it might seem. High beams are aimed a bit higher up whereas low beams aren't. On my car they're the exact same wattage, color temperature, and beam pattern. The only difference is that they're aimed higher up for longer range. If my low beams were adjusted up as far as the adjuster allows for they would be functionally identical to properly adjusted high beams.
