and they were the factory beams..... wtf....

I actually schooled the cop on headlights....

 

You really got pulled over for that?! What happened?

 

Cheeseburger, my money is on the fact that you lowered your rear end and you didnt re-aim your headlight housings .... so now your beam is aimed too high. Even a factory low-beam can blind people if it isnt properly aimed. Plus, its too your advantage to aim your lights properly. Low beams (used for city driving) will illuminate the road directly in front of you where you need it most for lower speeds. High beams (used for highway or roads out in the boonies) will help illuminate the road further ahead where you need to see since youre going faster. If your headlights arent aimed right, your low beam wont be lighting up the road in front of you, and your high beam will be lighting up the sky.

 

actually i did re-aim them. thats why i dont understand what his beef was.. i honestly think the little **** head was looking to get me for dui or something. i was the only car on the road in a small town. and my truck isnt exactly quiet and inconspicous...

 

yeah well that sucks man it really does...but ehhh just keep rollin on.

 

atleast i didnt get a ticket. i would have fought it if i had too.

 

how did you convince them not to give you a ticket?

 

told him they were the standard size and wattage and what brand they were... and he was like ummm.... ok... welp have a nice night!. like i said i think he was trying to get me for something else. the cops around here love to pick on us younger folks... they basically get off on it.

 

your not alone, same bunch of BS around here, but i am pretty sure thats its just about the same everywhere

 

im sure it is.. thats the first time i have ever been pulled over too which kind of sucks... funny though cause i frequently double speed limits on back roads on my bike.
