The distance between the high beam lever and the steering wheel is more than I like. When I have my high beams on, I like to keep a finger on the lever so that I can dim the lights quickly. Has anyone come up with a fix for this?
Return to the old floor hi/low beam button like my old Dodge:smile: Would give you left foot something to do for a change!!
It must be amateur night at the Laugh Factory? :biggrin: - - - Updated - - - See previous reply. :biggrin: - - - Updated - - - Now that's not a bad idea! Hmmm...
The floor hi-low switches were virtually indestructible, so the car manufacturers got rid of them. I think the only problem was with manual transmissions where you couldn't press the clutch and the dimmer switch at the same time. However, I can't recall ever having to make that choice.
They got crudded up with road salt and got sticky (personal experience - showing my age here). They dropped them because the Japanese started doing steering wheel stalks and the customers preferred them, so everyone switched.
Okay, I never had any problem with them (and some of the cars were pretty old by the time I got them). I do recall the advertising about how the stalk mounted ones were much better.
You can always get a Mobileye that has automatic dimming and get Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Guidance in on the deal.
