I have an issue with this as well. When you go to brights, they don't really seem to do much more then just throw the same amount of light out...just more upwards. When you pull back and get the hi AND lo beams (by holding the stick back temporarily)....it does light everything nicely....but I'm told we can't have both hi and low on together.
As far as the high-beams, they aren't all that bright. Maybe new bulbs are the ticket here. The hi-beams can not be adjusted without affecting the lo-beams....so wimpy high-beams we're stuck with unless we replace the bulbs with something better.
As for good street lighting while in Hi-beam are on...I'm working on a modification where the DRL's are on when the hi-beams go on too. But the Hi-beams are off when the DRL's are on. I'm guessing a diode in the right spot is all the is req'd.
As for me, I don't want my running lights on during the day. Heck....I turn off my DRL's when I remember to for that matter.
