I have no idea what point you’re trying to make anymore. If your headlights have a clean cutoff, meaning light is not spilling upwards above the low beam’s hot spot, and they’re aimed properly, you’re not blinding anyone unless you’re both peaking a hill. Any lights blinding you are either aimed wrong or something is wrecking the proper optics - hazy lens, wrong bulb type, damage, etc.
Why are you a proponent of spilling light sideways outside of your usable area? Even fog lights, with their very wide beam, are useless at highway speeds. Anything they illuminate outside the standard low beam is outside of what you can run into typically and is much too close to react to.
I have no idea why you’re bringing the Haynes/Chilton manuals into this. Every car gets an owners manual.
Do you realize that the headlights on the F150 are actually higher than the windshield on the Sentra?
Even properly aligned, headlights be blinding people, especially people in smaller cars. So I guess the ‘proper’ solution is to just scrap my mom’s car and pull a brand new F150 out of my ass so she can drive at the same height as the rest of the tanks trucks on the road huh?
Headlight height has nothing to do with this conversation. Frosting the headlights on an F-150 will reduce their throw. The F-150’s headlights will be made brighter to compensate. Your Sentra will now be blinded all the same. The solution to this problem is lowering headlights in the type of the Juke and Gen 1 Cherokee (not grand Cherokee, the 2015 compact).
Your sentra’s hazy headlight is throwing more light at oncoming drivers than the clear, properly aimed headlight.
Again and again, I’ve already said multiple times, I do not mean to haze the front of the headlight, I mean to diffuse the back reflector
Definitely have the front clear and no haze, no dispute there. But if you shine the light towards a backside diffused reflector, then if designed properly, the light coming out of the front will be fully directionally controlled, while also being smoother and using the front surface area more effectively. And most importantly, not blinding other drivers!
It’s not just about distance, it’s also about not blinding the person or deer in front of you…
Bright lights are fantastic! As long as you’re the only vehicle on the road…

I assume you’re just trolling now. Good night.
Do you know how tall a 1994 Nissan Sentra is?
Do you know how tall a modern Ford F150 is?
