I was driving my XLT a couple nights ago. It was after dark. Edge of town where there are not many street lights or other significant ambient light.
As a car approaches in the other lane coming at me my headlights dim significantly. The instant the other car passes they brighten up again. Didn't pay much attention until it did it again a short time later. My first thought is I must have my high-beams on. I look at the dash and no - my high beam indicator is not on. I cycle my brights on and off and the dash indicator works fine. I leave them off. By the time I get home I probably pass a half dozen more cars and my low beams dim each time.
Are the low beams supposed to do this? I know the truck has auto dim for high beam. If the low beams do auto dim my follow up question would be why on earth would it be a desirable feature to have low beams auto dim?
Thanks!
