Got a chance to drive my girlfriend's mom's new 07 cx-7. The xenon headlights have a switch on the dash that can adjust the height of the headlights. It was really awesome and so helpfull. Why dosent the rx-8 have this? Is there anyway to do it? By the way the cx-7 is very nice. The interior is really close to the 8 design, and it drives very well.........for an suv.

 

one of the avantages of owning a JDM rx-8 its the height ajusting head lights and climed control and self retracting rear view mirors

 

Interesting Fact: New BMW's headlights turn with the wheel.

so if your making a right turn, the headlights will too.

Know You Know! Cuz Knowledge Is Power!!

 

Don't we all have this?!

 

you have climed control and electricaly retracting rear view mirors?

 

If someone else has this the 8 might be prewired for it. All you need is the switch. Someone please say this is true.

 

Doesn't the RX8 in N. America have "auto-leveling headlights" as opposed to the CX7's manual?

Also, the new Lincoln MKX has the turning headlights, as does the Acura RL

 

The 1948 Tucker has a turning headlight (central). Not a new technology.

 

i got the shinka 06 and i definitely don't have climate control or height adjusting headlights or self-retracting rear view mirrors

 

the headlights are autoleveling on the 8 but the cx-7 lets the driver set the level that he/she wants it to auto level to.

 

My STi had one of those leveling things. It was sweet.

 

The idea with manual adjusting headlights on suv's is for when you are pulling a trailer or something the back drops and the front raises. It is a less expensive way than doing self adjusting. My Infiniti FX has these and I think it is stupid. When I drove up a steep hill in Georgia I had to rotate a switch to lower the lights.

 

The Mazda3 has switch on the dash. I adjusted mine manually. They self adjust only from the set position. Sensors are on the rear sway bar.
