self leveling headlights???
I got an '06 GT with HID's....this means the lights auto level? does this mean the lights are constantly leveling themselves??? I've noticed they dont make a flat line though...one side is usually a little higher than the other side.
|
one side is higher coz the drivers side is intentionally aimed lower so to not blind oncoming traffic

If you don't like the way your headlight is angled, there's a hole where where you stick a screw driver in it to adjust it.

I've seen two other 8's like that so I'm going to guess that it is normal. I only see it when I'm in my driveway leaving for work in the morning. On the street I cannot tell. |
as well as the left side being lower to not blind on comming traffic the right side is higher to see signs better...
so if you buy jdm headlights it will actually be reversed and aimed to blind oncoming traffic and to not illuminate street signs... thats how my s13 is and its kinda funny |
its called the Z effect.
and i hate it. theres no way to fix them completely!!!. theres always gonna be one side higher than the other!!!! :( |
I like safety!

They autolevel after about 10 seconds of being off level. Flip on your lights on your garage door at night and sit on your trunk and watch.
|
we have auto-leveling headlights? OMG!
|
All HIDs are required to have auto leveling head lights. If you want to adjust their height, get a screw driver, and start playing with those white peices that adjust the height.

You can adjust how the HID on the EVO's from the cockpit as well. |
lol I find it impressive we have this too! real neat right? Just another little detail that adds to our cars
|
wtf! why cant we also have the luxury to adjust it from the cockpit!!!!

I hate people who make their lights the same level, or make the left side higher. :)

I have only seen my headlights move a little higher after start up. Nothing cool like my friends 325ci. those things go down up left right EVERY time he turns them on. When he's at a stop light if he presses the brake the lights go up for a second to compensate the braking. not to mention the adaptive brake lights that flash when you brake hard.....Makes me wanna be a beamer.

Mazda did for the Mazdaspeed 6. They have a switch that lowers and raises the headlight beam.
