A UN working party is currently looking at the issue of headlight glare with its next meeting due to be held at the end of next month.
Good advice that - I am in two minds on this topic - My Macan Xeons on high beam used to be like a torch beam illuminating the tree canopy down the lanes in an impressive way. The 911 LEDs seem to reach better but have much lower and sharper cut-off even on full beam. So, I had thought that LEDs headlights seemed dim when seeing other cars but now I think they had better cut-off. The LEDs I find most dazzling are on 'budget cars' with LED running lights, at dusk, which seem very bright in all directions
Sound about right.Ferdie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 7:16 pmGood advice that - I am in two minds on this topic - My Macan Xeons on high beam used to be like a torch beam illuminating the tree canopy down the lanes in an impressive way.

The Macan's Xenon main beam do seem a rather strange beam compared to previous cars with Xenon lights I have owned - I am sure the previous cars cut off much lower down but showed similar distance.Ferdie wrote: ↑Sat Mar 24, 2018 7:16 pmGood advice that - I am in two minds on this topic - My Macan Xeons on high beam used to be like a torch beam illuminating the tree canopy down the lanes in an impressive way.

Good observation Guy - I agree the Xeons did that, probably because of the tunnel of light they made, must check if the LEDs are better on that score .
