No. I hate to look at high beams. Day or night. Some peoples vision is affect adversly by bright lights. My opinion. Only a real dumasss rides with thier bright lites on in traffic. [8D]

When I had my passing lights installed, I specified that they be controlled only by the passing light switch, so they would be on all the time, independent of my high beam/low beam.

Low beams during the day, low beams at night unless I am out in the middle of nowhere. I don't like being blinded by oncoming high beams, so I don't do it to others. Just my way of doing it.

High beems all the time for me. Lows suck at night anyway. I figue if their flashing me that means they see me.
Why would you want to blind a car driving AT you?

I've been using bikes as my primary trans since 1979 and do not see where high beams would have helped me once.
From my own, experienced, perspective I'd rather not irritate drivers for something I see no benefit in.
Just my own two cents...

High in the daytime, low at night if there is oncoming traffic, then back to high. I like to make sure they see me switch from high to low.
