Lower headlights???

• leetcrew 7y ago
  okay, that's a pretty obvious solution that I missed. I guess it might not be acceptable for a "work" or "offroad" vehicle to have delicate components placed so low, but it would certainly be okay for most of what these vehicles actually get used for.

    While it's more expensive, headlights can also reorient themselves dynamically. You tend to see it on mid-tier vehicles and up, but it's a really great feature. So there is a technical solution to this problem, although I'd rather have a simpler approach that's also cheaper that works for most people (as much as I love my headlights, I realize it's one more thing that can break).

      yeah I read an article on ars a while ago about this. very cool. I sort of worry how those systems will age though. perhaps in 2035, audis from 2020 will be performing light shows wherever they go.

    I don't think you need to physically move the headlights down in most cases; just point them downward a bit.

    An offroad vehicle can have lights mounted anywhere they like, but when on-road, it should have the mounted where they won't blind other drivers, even if it means putting them on a movable mount.
