What do most do when they are DRIVING towards the sunshine?
Using a 4 wheel vehicle.
I do it to prevent people from dangerously chasing me down to tell me I "have a headlight out". If I could figure out how to aim my highbeam lower I would =(It's just stupid. Stop it everybody.
It annoys the hell out of me when people do it. Makes me want to drive right at them or, if they're behind me, break check them. Normally I manage to quell that desire.
You can pop collars now?!?

What was in the pictures? All I could see was lights and now I'm blind....
Those pictures do a wonderful job of showing the loss of detail that can be seen, when high beams are in use; absolutely none in the first shot, while it would be difficult to see signals in the second.
With the Gsxr and cbr1000, the signals is in the mirrors, which will be seen.
I find 1 light looks more like a car, I got passed a couple of time by some VFR and I noticed those 2 lights from far away.
BTW, I put my highbeam only for passing heavy trucks on the highway, so they notice me and don't change lane over me. It happen twice this season before I started to put my high beam.

What I seen in those pics, was those bright lights, the dim one was barely noticed, especially how you could barely notice the gray in the bike and maybe the rider, but I still see those bright lights on the other bike.

I noticed the same thing, however, I would not take these pics as 100% representative of real life unless we know how the photographer and camera were metering the scene(measuring light). A lot of cameras by default will expose the picture based on the brightest spot in the frame, in this case the high beams, in order so that the details of that bright object are preserved during exposure. Otherwise you get a "blown out" exposure, meaning all you see is white and no details. Take a picture pointing your camera directly at a bright light source and you'll see what I mean. As a consequence, all other objects in the picture are darkened or underexposed as well. End result, bright objects are not as bright in the picture compared to the actual real life scene and other objects are darker in the picture than in real life. Based on examining those photos, I'd say this might be the case as the shadow areas look underexposed. Then we have to consider if any post processing (photoshop) has been done. Again, the only way to really know if the exposures in those pictures are really representative of real life is to have the photographer give his take. Food for thought, that is all.
