I remember when driving in the EU (France) that most cars allow you to adjust the angle of the beams, so you may have more light but it's often pointed down.
Unsure if that was just the few vehicles I drove or if it's EU-wide.
- Wonkey 2y agoThe adjustment you’re mentioning is most likely the knob for angle adjustment which are used if driving with a heavy load in the back. Some cars has suspension which levels the car automatically, for those the adjustment isn’t necessary.
- dingaling 2y agoAngle adjustment is useful even when not carrying a load. Angling the beams down onto the road at dawn and dusk provides good be-seen visibility without creating glare for other drivers. Cars without manual angle adjustment have lost that courtesy gesture and just drive around glaring all the time.
