So it gets dark earlier now. I drive some tiny, twisty, hilly, New England backroads on the way home from school. The low beams only illuminate 30-40 feet in front of the car. Beyond that it's PITCH black. I run through an intersection because it's on top of a small hill and I didn't know it was an intersection until I was 5 feet from it (no stop sign). This is a huge problem. High beams are great except I don't want to blind oncomming traffic so it's constantly on-off-on-off every 5 seconds.

WTF is going on with my low beams? Are they set too low or is everyone's like this? I've driven ALOT of cars and hardly ever needed the high beams just to see what's right in front of me (I used them mostly while speeding...shhhhh). Is this a complaint for the dealer or should I jump under the hood and try to adjust them up myself? Suggestions on proper aiming?

Does the short cut-off bother anyone else?

I know the Euro cars get a power height adjustment. US gets ripped again?

this is the height adjustment knob... i used it to aim the hids.

Another New Englander who also had trouble with the stock headlights. I had the dealer reaim them but still weren't that great. A set of phillips vision plus from autolamps-online did the trick for us.

How to aim headlights

bajaiman

Can't you adjust the headlights (low beam) from inside the car??, I mean ... I can adjust the headlights from inside the car, its located next to the headlight knob.

This is a Euro-spec specific feature.

Here's a pic of the adjustment wheel by the way....

Maybe I'll have to try that along with a few cranks on the adjuster.

do the canadian models have that feature too? looks like europe/australia has it but not the US.

man so first we dont get audio 10, then no kool transmission, now we dont get driver seat headlight aimers.
That sux


I have also found that if you adjust the fog lights up more you can adjust the low beams up and get more light infront of the car.

bagwell

ok...how do you adjust the fogs ????!!!!!

TimmyC230boy

there is a small hole next to each fog light. you will need a long screwdriver. Shine a light in there and you will see what I mean. Turn it and the lights go up or down. PM if you need help.

Anything I need to know before I order these lamps? Are they H7's? How much did they cost?

todd

That is wayyyyy too cool.

I would love to have that.

They are H7's and cost $40 a pair from Autolamps-Online. Mine will be arriving this week.
