Highbeams in the snow:

[machine4321]

I know they dont work well in any vehicle. Driving home tonight there was only a tiny bit of snow falling, and I turned them on to see how they worked. It appeared that they were pointing 15ft off the ground. Mind you they were bouncing off the snow abit and it must have been the glare kicking back at me.

Anyone else have the same sort of pattern?

Isn't that what usually happens if you turn on high beams in the snow? I would think using fog lamps would be the wiser choice due to snow's highly reflective abilities.

"Highbeams in the snow". Good title for a truck driving song.
The Owner's Guide shows what the light pattern should look like. What you describe seems fairly normal to me.

Thanks Peter. First vehicle I have driven with projectors, just wasnt sure. Low beams work great with the fogs.
