Hi All,

Looking for some help, I have a Dec '05 premium coupe. At night sometimes when I turn the car on the headlights come on the beam direction slowly shifts down so that after a couple of seconds the beam finishes only a few metres in front of the car (seems like it anyway). After driving for a while I notice they have gone back to normal like any other car. I can't figure out how to change it back while driving, usually just try switching from Auto lights to manual etc, doesn't work.

Usually it doesn't bother me too much becasue i'm only city driving at city speeds. My problem is I'm going on a road trip this weekend and I don't want to be driving at highway speeds with lights that don't light up the road past a few metres, I also don't want to be driving around with high beams all the time and blinding other drivers.

Anyone else have a similar issue? Or know what the deal is? It came with factory Xenons which I still have but haven't gotten around to getting connected up again.

Cheers

sitting in the drivers seat, its to the right of the steering wheel, just above the bonnet release. thats assuming your car had HIDs from factory.

it should have a dial with 0,1,2,3 or 1,2,3,4 positions on it.

    • I once hit my knee on an exhaust on my sisters Suzuki Sierra after she drove it her *normal* way. My knee looked like porridge for weeks. Bec and my daughters never go near this car. I can see one of my dogs losing an ear though. 🤔
    • Nice, love a good GTS-t.  IMHO the factory body kit with the 'aero' front bumper is perfect. Can't improve on it unless it's a GT-R. But it looks like you changed it to the normal bumper?
    • Easy solution to both of those. Put a split bit of garden hose on each one. Attractive and practical!
    • So I guess the next thing to do will be to discuss whether to create a new section of the forums to hold the library (boo hiss?), somewhat undoing the recent tidy up, or if there is a bolt on wiki module for Invision? (I must profess ignorance as to what has been done, what it might cost, etc. I have only briefly googled and seen discussion on adding it.) Or is a wiki even the best way to do what I'm talking about? It possibly isn't. Given that we're trying to re-display forum content, it probably needs to be presented as forum content in forum format, and a wiki would probably struggle with that. A wiki might still be the best way to do some other things, so I'll keep the idea simmering if we don't use it here. Back to the library as "part of the forums". Would we do a single new library? Or put a library thread in each section? Pluses and minuses for each of these, surely. Would we do as I originally suggested, and make the first post in the library be the total of the library, with any reply posts just being the inputs and suggestions I originally posited? Or would we allow posts to accumulate one after the other, each containing additions to the library? Maybe the first post is still an index or something. It's all sounding horribly more manual and messy than my original brain fart. But I hope there's some other good ideas floating around - because every time I come up with a new one of my own I immediately see problems with it.  
    • Tips look fine to me......but Boring stuff: Legalities - Vehicle standards notes that exhausts cannot extend to a point where they could cause injury Scary stuff: Mrs cuts open her shin putting stuff in the boot (ensure you have some bandaids and shiny jewellery handy)
