Spottie placement

Post by Loanrangie »

Does it make any difference which side of the b bar you fit a spot and spread beam light on ? I am leaning toward spot on pass side so that it is less likely to shine into on coming traffic ?

I've done a LOT of night driving and played around with this, personally I like looking down the road behind the spot as you get a better distance sight. Personal preference only, might be something you should have a mess around with, theres no rule that says it must be either way tho.

What Beretta said. If you're alomost sitting behind the Spot it gives you a better perception of the road. If the spot is on the passengers side you always seem to be looking down the side of the beam and a straight road doesn't appear exactly straight.

Spot on the right, spread on the left. Works for me, tried it the other way just to see and it didn't 'look' right.
