High Beam Lever

[Pantera Dude]

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?

Bigger hands? That works for me...

I have pretty big hands. I would hate to have to resort to nail extensions! :biggrin:

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.

There are at least 4 other makes of cars with the exact steering collum.
