The outboard are high & low. The inboard are high only. On high beam all 4 are on.

Not if you are an old man with byfocals & they are aimed too high & coming down the highway at you. my cure for that has always been a couple of aircraft landing lights either mounted seperately or installed in the h/beam sockets. it usaually demands instanr dimming when given a shot, even at a distance ron | | | | | Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 19 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Oct 2009 Posts: 19 | I don't think any Stovebolters would have improperly adjusted headlights! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 337 | [quote=Wrenchbender Ret.][quote=fatlip]

ron In Chu Lai many moons ago I hooked up the 100w landing light out of a C123 to the front of an M151 Ford jeep. Didn't know anything about relays back then (or have access to any). We just grounded the light to the bumper and connected the lamp to the firewall cannon plug. I was amazed a 100w bulb could like up an entire 10,000 foot runway. Of course the tower hated it - thought we were an airplane. Only got to use it a couple of times anyway. Turned out the 100w bulb pulled 100 amps and welded the romex to the socket. The only way to turn off the light was to tear the wire out along with the terminal! I don't suppose cops today would find it as much fun as we did. | | |
