There was a defect in the lighting and the adjustment caused low beams to create a glare to the oncoming traffic. The high and low beam filaments were in one bulb and the bulb was surrounded by a collar which may had contributed to the problem. When the low beams were on or when driving at night in rural areas, it looked as if a dark shade was pulled down making the lighted area only about 6 feet off of the ground throughout 180 degrees horizontally.
