Interestingly enough, the only time I've had someone flash me over the last month with glare free was when I wasn't even going fast enough for the high beams to even be activated. Some people just assume any bright LED headlight is someone's brights.
Most people don’t put their car in Bambi mode, so if I see fog lights it’s almost guaranteed they don’t have their brights on. That’s how I determine it most time, because some of the low beams are really damn bright

around here bambi mode is a MUST, any light we can throw off to the right to illuminate the bar ditches and EYES the better, we get cows and lots of deer that like to hide in them shadows

Can you do any of this with FDRS? If not, can forscan use the same Mongoose OBDI connecter I just used to update my 21 SW Modules?

this morning around 2 45 am i was on the other 2 lane farm road tooling at 70, cruise on, etc jamming out to billy squire
i was able to spot 2 deer on side of road about a football field away
one was at the fence line and the other was at the roadside...thinking about a jaunt across the road, i had lots of time to stop and we both starred at each other for a few seconds before she made the decision to run back through the field to the left.

i cant say if glare free aided the additional field of view, but i can say the whole area was flooded with light.

How do the fog lights function in antiglare mode? Do they go off at 37 mph when anti glare kicks in?

If you do not have Bambi mode active they cut off when the anti glare turns on the high beams.

Also good to see you thread daddy :) (to quote @Snakebitten)
yup
if bambi mode is OFF the lights will go off
i had to adjust mine up a few turns to allow me to see about 20 feet out in front if i turn off the headlights

Yep, once you SEE it, you can't un-see it. Great descriptions, the last few posts.

As far as waiting for someone to flash you because you can see your truck casting beyond and above them.......
I think our trucks must look similar to some of the latest cars/SUV's that I see at night that their oncoming headlights are clearly projectors, and you can see the perfect shape of the projector because there's no Glare in your eyes. At first glance I have thought they must not have much light coming out, but then I notice the road in front of them is lit very well.

Now it makes sense. My windshield has been "curtained off" and so those lights are not actually shining AT me.

Amazing technology

With anti glare on I don’t really need the fogs, I was just curious. The anti glare does a fantastic job lighting the road sides even when other cars are present.

Are you asking if anyone has tried to enable glare free on a 302A or is they have tried the headlamp swap on a 303A?

I’m asking if anybody tried to enable the glare free on a 302A with stock headlamps.
