Default How Many Times to you Get flashed for HIGH BEAMS

I get flashed at least once or twice a night becuase people think that I have my high beams on.??

I want to upgrade my high to PIAA superwhites or something like that so when I let them know I don't have my highs on they get a nice sun tan...

But seriously, is it just me or are other people getting flashed for high beams as well..??

Default Try aiming your lowbeams then.

If they are up in oncoming drivers eyes, they are WAY too high.

I don't think you can "aim" xenons, they auto-level...but I may be wrong???

Default I have OEM xenons....and....

I get chicks flashing their headlights all the time when I am carrying my Mardis Gras beads. Oh, wait, you mean car lights.....oh, never mind.

With my xenons, I get flashed once in a great while. I live in a pretty nice area, so there are tons of xenon cars running around.

Should be two adjustment screws on each housing....one adjusts beam up/down, the other left/right

Default Here's what the auto adjustment on xenon's does...

You aim the xenons like any other headlight. Adjust them so they are level. The auto adjustment on the xenons just compensates for the load in the car, and keeps the xenons level where you first set them. Make sense?
