Default Using High Beams for daily driving??

I no this is going to probably sound really weird and unimportant but im curious. is it possible to adjust your headlight so far down that you can use your high beams and not blind everyone?

No it is not possible.

The beam pattern has no cutoff it will blind people even when pointed down.

so you wanna point your headlights all the way down just for daytime driving and then reaim them back up for night time driving? To me, that just sounds pointless, but if that's what you would like to do, then go for it

Where in my post did I mention anything that you said? I asked if I were to adjust my headlights down if it would be good enough to use highbeams all the time. Nothing was ever said about reaiming them just for daytime lights or anyhting like that.

Like I said, why are you wanting to adjust your lights downward which is pretty much saying, why reaim your lights downward just to use your high beams all the time? Why not just leave them were they're at cause you'll have more light on the street when you decide to click them on? Sorry, I should've broke it down a little more for you instead of adding all the extra to my post

retrofit would pretty much be the best way to go to have more light without having to worry about blinding on coming traffic. You can get parts pretty cheap if you search around the right places. For something simple and cheap, just use E46 single xenon projectors.
