Separate High/Low Beam Adjustment

I think I know the answer to this, but...

Is it possible to adjust the height of the High and Low Beams separately?

Purchased my 2016 Taco TRD Off-Road just before thanksgiving...drove it home after sundown, and was VERY disturbed by the limited visibility provided by the Low Beams at highway speeds. I felt unsafe (and slowed down ~10 mph). I have since adjusted the level so I can see farther down the road (and still not shine into others eyes). I have noticed, however, that this renders the High Beams---useless? Now they're aimed too high. I haven't replicated the driving situation so as to check the high beams on the highway at night yet, but...

The reason for my question is that there seems to be either a slight break, or at lease Zero overlap between the high and low beams. Can I lower the High Beams without affecting the Low Beams?

Thanks Everybody. I did do a search and waded through pages of headlight discussions, but couldn't zero in on one that addressed my specific question.

Thanks in advance!

 

Welcome to the forum!

No, high beams are not independently adjustable. Industry standard is one adjuster controls both. It would be difficult to aim a high beam, so you adjust the low accordingly and your high beam is then adjusted as well.

See this thread, specifically post #2 for how to improve the performance of your headlights:

Thanks crashnburn80! That was what I thought...just wanted to hear it from someone who knew for sure.

As to the link you provided, I read most of that a few weeks ago (an will re-read it again multiple times I'm sure).
My issue is not so much the amount of light, but where it is/was aimed that is the problem. I know there's a standard that they're set up for, but it's just too freakin' short. By the time your headlights illuminate an issue in your path, at highway speeds--you have no time to react / adjust! It's just not safe.

Thanks again. Already started reading that very informative post again!
