High beams?
Has anyone else in the newer style SD pickups experienced poor quality high beams? My low beams are great and seam to be aimed adequately (unless I've got a trailer hooked up then I get flashed by every oncoming rig). However, when I click on the high beams they kind of shine down in front of me. The other SDs of this body style I've been in seemed to have much better high beams. Any thoughts?

The hi beams on my 2006 and 2011 F350's are both not very good. Tried the Silver Star (or whatever) white bulbs, but they were not much better (and burned out within a few years). I actually prefer the plow lights on my MVP.

Wired in a set of Hella FF75 Driving Lights on my '15 F250. They're tied into my high beam circuit via a relay. I have them aimed to light up the road a few hundred feet in front of me. They make up for the Hi-Beams short coming and they were a lot cheaper than the LED lights

Well, my 1999 F-250 has the dimmest headlights since Joseph Lucas first tricked motorists into night time driving. "Home Before Dark" is my motto.
They are so feeble, I added a pair of Hella Black Beauties so I could avoid hitting livestock and wildlife on the road.
