I looked at the thread on Simon (the wanker) Cowell and thought about something. When you were behind me, on our trip back from the Dragon Slayer in Vt., it looked like you had only one headlight working; but, they were both working, just one a light brighter than the other. Anyone else mention it or was I seeing things?

when one light brighter than the other it is a bad ground 9 out of 10 times

:agree: :thumbup: Another slight possibility is one light aimed too low.

you are also correct :thumbup:

I have o ne brighter than another when on Low beam BUT both are equal brightness on high beam?
Maybe one of the blockers stuck open?:dontknow:

Don,t drive at night so it doesn,t matter much.

When it appears that way when a Spyder is following you, the most likely causes are:

1.) The Spyder is not centered on the vehicle (mirror) ahead. The Spyder's projector lenses cast a very narrow beam, both up and down and side to side. If the Spyder is to one side of the lane, one light looks dim (or out).

2.) The Spyder's headlights are not evenly adjusted vertically.

The lights will light up the road just fine, it is just a daytime artifact of the projector lenses. The same effect is seen in cars with that type of light.

MY HEADLIGHTS

Thanks for the heads up, I'll have to check them.....I also don't ride to often at night but have never noticed any " beam " oddities....They seem to light up what needs lighting up......PS I was glad to get to meet you and hope you enjoyed the Dragon ......Mike.....:thumbup:

Scotty,

It didn't make a difference whether I looked in my left or right hand mirror; it was the same headlight that appeared brighter.:dontknow:

Probably vertical alignment, then...or the crown of the road. It doesn't take much.

I seem to get a lot of oncoming traffic at night to flash at me as though my lights are on high beam but they are not and I flash them just a second to show they are not on high. Does anyone else seem to get this when driving at night? My lights may be aimed too high just not sure really.

Being flashed, especially at night, is a good sign that the headlight alignment is too high. Remember that a rider/passenger/cargo raises the beam.
