    I'm 6' and have a wicked tall torso and I don't have this problem. I sit all the way forward too.

      Low Beams, including HID's have a dispersion pattern that is ment to not blind other drivers. Highs, however, are ment to flood light all over the place. So while the two may have the same lumens, highs are a hazard.

        and by no means am i lying.

        So what im thinking is that its not because im tall, but just that i sit funny or something
        You must be sitting right on top of the dash then– I'm 6'1" and have no problems

                  with your shoulders flat against the seat, your wrist should sit on the top of the steering wheel.

                          Maybe your neck is too long. My dad is over 6' and on short drives he uses my seat settings with no problems. Is your seat on the up or down position? I didn't know you can raise or lower the entire seat for almost a whole year.

                            Well now thanks to you, i can now see everything perfect.
                            The first time adjusted my seat to how i like, when i pushed the lever down, i couldnt get it to anything, but i figured it out now. So thank you and everyone else.

                            I am a happy driver.

                              Glad it worked, like I said I didn't know that for the longest time either. I looked at the picture a few times and always wondered why they had instructions on the seat back recline handle but I actually raise the seat up unless I am going to be on the freeway for a long trip, feels like I am in better control and gives me better leverage on my stiff ass clutch, I'm only 5'8" so it helps.

                                I like being close to the wheel!
