Definitely not what high beams are. My headlights go from 4k lumen per headlight low beams to 10k per high beams.
That's definitely what high beams are. Stock high beams just throw the light higher, that's why they are called high beams, anything else would be considered illegal to run on the road. Over the years people started calling them brights but that's because they appear brighter because the light is thrown in a upward position and into your eyes, not because it's actually a brighter beam, that's just facts.
Ok, well my high beams literally throw out 2.5 times more light than my low beams. So there is that.
Not saying they don't, but that would also make them not legal.
DOT approved and SAE certified. They sell a ton of different lights that advertise higher lumen output for high beams than low beams with DOT approvals.
Even the factory halogens are rated 50% more lumens on high beam than low beam. Maybe you should tell Mopar their lights break regulations from the factory? I have found no law, regulation, or code saying high beams have to be the same output as low beams.
Take "DOT approval" with a grain of salt......
Again, the factory halogen lights have a higher lumen high beam than low beam. I'm not trying to argue for or against it, but saying that it is illegal because of more light output from high beams is wrong, or they wouldn't be sold like that from the factory.
