High Beams: How often do you use them?

[Anonymous]

Looks like nearly all Toyotas have automatic high beams (AHB) as an available feature. These are different from adaptive headlights which may now be legal in the U.S. but require more rule making (regulation).

This is a bit of an aside, but I feel like its hard to drive a small car anymore. The headlight issue is one reason why -- with taller cars blinding shorter cars.

I’ve never heard of this and it sounds like an interesting feature.

It's a standard feature on all Subarus, even the base trimline. They are awesome. You can trigger the AHB on or off.

I usually set mine for roadtrips where we are going to the mountains or in the countryside. I never drive with AHB activated in the city - it's not necessary.
