Blind right turn

Dark two lane roads at night. Can see into a right turn. Hope I don’t cut the turn short. Have to look for center of road. Headlight don’t cover out enough to right or left
What to do

If you have fog lights they should help a lot, mine do. They scatter off to the side quite a bit. I live on a rural road with two 90 degree turns, I turn off my brights so the fogs come on so I can see better on the turns.

You can use AlfaOBD to disable the fog light drop out so they will stay on with the high beams.

Absolutely no joke, absolutely the best answer for this is PIAA fogs. I prefer the rainbow lenses. They are so powerful and such good peripheral vision the are better then factory headlights by a mile and a half. Best mod I ever had besides LineX, hard to tell which I like better of those two mods. PIAA fogs you simply wont regret, but they aint cheap.

The best part if they don't offend oncoming drivers, which on busy country roads is a thing.

There are other brands too, I just like PIAA myself, but look at the end of this video, this is what you can expect with PIAA or other high quality fogs like the ones listed. You see the light is better then factory headlights, no joke, but they produce no glare for oncoming traffic.

look at the before and after peripheral, end of discussion.

I have the same complaint, making a 90 degree turn, (or greater), the road does not have any light from the headlights or the fogs. They are too recessed in the mounting holders, it seems. They throw a 45 degree light path from straight ahead. I'll look for a video of the PIAA lights if I can find one. I'll look for a specific 4th gen video, as the recess of the mount seems to me to be the issue, not the bulb so much.

just the light bar, no headlights





In a heavy Fog, everyone follows me, i do turn on my cargo light, so they can see me without following right on my tailgate.
A curved light bar in the same place would work even better
