highbeam aim
I noticed from the beginning that I did not seem to be getting a lot of extra juice from my highbeams, perhaps because the xenons are so good, I thought.
Last week we had a foggy morning and as I am driving down my subdivision street, I mess with the highbeams and what the fog reflected was a weird light pattern. There is the big central beam shining quite high hitting the tree tops at 50 yards, then there are two small beams shining skyward like it's CNN reporting from Baghdad in '91. Do I have crappy highbeams with light leaking out on the top or is this by design and I have just never noticed it ?

As Mike says, we all got it. Damnedest thing too. However, it does help read the freeway overpass height numbers at night.
