High beams

I wasn't complaining about anything... I wouldn't have even brought it up but when it WAS brought up I added my .02.

I like to keep my eyes on the trail, use hand signals when I can, stay to the right of the trail, stop at an appropriate spot in the trail if I have to stop, use turn ahead signs when they're available, stay on trail when I'm supposed to, stop at stop signs, let ricky racers pass me and pass slower folks at an appropriate spot without rooster tailing them.

You're right, plenty of room on the trail for all kinds of riders and all kinds of opinions out there. I was just responding to someone else stating the high beams bug them and they obviously bother some others as well, I'm pretty sure I didn't complain and I sure as heck don't let it ruin my day no matter how anyone else rides unless they run me off the trail or what happened to indybru.

Day time lights on vehicles are at 40% power. I am going with brights in day time only help blind another rider no help seeing you coming. Many are adding even brighter lights to there sleds then come on stock.

you would not believe how many people signal at night. Like I'm supposed to look into a headlight to see a hand signal. Slow way down sometime at night and you'll be surprised at how many are signaling

I think people signaling at night is some funny $#1+. Can't believe how many people did it this weekend, I just sit back and laugh... I have yet to ride a sled where I thought I could see better with the brights on...

They all can be adjusted down some easy some very difficult most out of box stock high beams are bouncing off the tree tops. Low beams are for twistys see what is out there 50 to 150 feet or so brights are for far distance way down the trail light up the world applications. Just as a car you should be on low beams 80% of the time 20% on brights & only when needed. Riding on brights 100% of riding time is just plain wrong misapplication of snowmobile lights.
