hey guys, i just got in for the night, and on the ride home something was really bugging me. ya know how with the ford rangers, the lever on the side of the steering wheel (3 posistions)1 to keep the lights on low beams,2 locked high beams and then 3 pull forward it goes high beams as long as you can keep it held towards you??


well anyways, i noticed that with my high beams locked with the lever,(pushed out) they are not as bright as when i pull them toward me(pulled out) manualy. if i pull towards me it lights up the road a lot better, and when i lock high baems on it just seems a lot more dim. and the whole way home, i was testing with it, and it was just bothering me.

anyways i have sylvania ulta bright's in my truck..

anyone have any idea why this could be?



thanks
mike

 

hahhaaha this is funny caz i deliver pizzas and i was driving to a delivery tonite in the bondocks and it was dark no street lites and i noticed the same thing it didnt bug me but to me i thought when u hold the lever back urself it was brighter

 

ive heard when you pull it towards you both high and low come on together. i may be wrong but thats what i think.

 

the temporary brights (flash to pass i think its called) uses both your low beams and your high beams where as when you lock it foreward its just the brights

 

ive noticed the same thing in both rangers ive owned, never thought much of it though

 

I think it's like that in most cars today. I know it was like that in all 3 of my mustangs and my ranger too.

 

You are correct sir.

 

makes sense. thanks guys. i wonder why they would do this?
