Are my lights too high?

[LXRY]

When I drive at night I'm forever getting high beamed by oncoming drivers, are my lights too high or are they just very bright? I drive with my finger on the trigger waiting for pplz to high beam me so I can give them my high beams...usually I get a high beam flash, but u get some drivers that keep em on then I go for spotties and high beams together....lol.

Has any one else had this experience. Not really bothered by it as i can see everything at night, lighting is brilliant. (driving 06 euro lxry)

I get blinded by oncoming euro lux's all the time, and have even flashed a few thinking they had their high beams on

There is definetely something not right about the euro's HID's. No other HID car has this issue, except for maybe the BMW X5's since they are high up.

Appology accepted EuroDude lol... Would it happen if I lowered it ? Any one lowered there's yet? Does it still happen when lowered?

They're just Jealous they dont have HID's themselves, dont worry about em'

[EuroAccord13]

Don't the Luxury Euros have self adjusting HID lights?

Yea,you're absolutely right LXRY,I actually had that same experience yesterday evening coming home from work.I was about to flash the guy when i realised it was a neighbours lux Euro.I've been thinking about a HID kit for mine,but i'm not so sure anymore.Mabye just stronger Halogen bulbs might satisfy me.Like a lot of members though,i also like the "cool" aspect of having HIDS,as well as the better light output,but at the end of the day it might be more trouble than its worth.Dont want to get "flashed" all the time.

[EuroDude]

Yeah I was thinking about getting HID too, its great for the driver, but no so good for oncoming traffic which could leed to an accident.

Give the Philips H1 BlueVisions a try, they mimick HID (bright white with a blue tinge edge) and give out good light brightness for Halogen standards

haha i get it all the time, people flashing there high beams at me thinking i have mine on, brings a smile to my face
Love the headlights, after driving my car then getting into my dads BA XR6 i almost feel the need to drive with the hi beams on

And yes i believe the headlights are self adjusting

All Cars equipped with HID (from factory) have some form of self leveling and washers.

One thing people need to realise is that most HID equipped cars run halogens for high beam, so unless you can see bright yellowy white light aswell chances are its just low beam. very few make/models run bi-zenon
as standard

[EuroDude]

ABS dont you mean they run Halogens for Low beam, and HID for High Beam?

ABS dont you mean they run Halogens for Low beam, and HID for High Beam?

No, it's HID for low beam and halogens for high beams.

Some BMW and Audi models advertise "Bi-xenon" headlights. That means both low and high beams are HIDs.

i think it's not just the euro HID, the lexus, bmw all have very bright lights imo.

my bro drives a crx and got pull off once by the stupid police for having a bright yellowish headlight, yes it's bright but it's not that bright that will affect oncoming traffic (lot dimmer than HID).. i reckon sometimes there's discrimnation agains the cheap old car with nice headlight. so rich ppl with expensive car and blind whoever they want with HID but poor ppl should drive their cheap cars with dime ugly lights??
