My Headlights too bright?

[WhiteR33]

I realised that alot of drivers are shiniing their high beams at me, or delibrately slow down and shine there high beam up my rear. Is it because my head lights are too bright? Or they are incorrectly aimed. I also noticed the headlights are much stronger than the highbeams, but it's headlights are aimed lower still.

The headlights are just the cheapo opti blue, not sure if it's 100W or 55W, but my friends said it's damn bright and always insists on driving behind me.

Thanks

I am just a bit concerned that I might get pulled over by some coppas... So how does the dazzling rule work anyway?

its probably a combination of angle of lights and bulbs too strong. 100W is pretty bright, i use the same bulbs and dont have the same problem though...i'd say your lights are aimed incorrectly

Yeah, Id be going with the aim of them. You need to park in front of a wall to set them, its a bit of a stuff about but worth it.

PS aiming them down more doesnt always work, as it can change the refection etc. Also maybe if your highbeams are brighter, the car is wrongly wired???

lol r u serious i had them things in and i could barely see the road...

get some xenons then see how much ya get high beamed

HID's a very good idea.... I've seen a few of my friends got them installed in their silvia's or 180's. $$$ is my biggest issue. Maybe that's what I will move onto, when I have some spare change in the pocket. What temperature do people usually have nowdays.

[WhiteR33]

Just out of curiousity. Which one is more likely be defected? Blue tinted halogen or HID?

Your problem could also be that your dash display lights are turned way down. Just turn them up by the nob under the dash (assuming its there).

What has the dash lights have to do with people high beaming him?

On that note, I dont know if it was just my compliers, but my dash dimmer (a variable resistor pot near the drivers knee under the dash, stupid place to put it) seems to be directly wired to my tailights. When my dash is dimmed to no light, my tail driving lights go out too. front beams are unnafected. Good for running away from the cops but still an issue that bugs me.

hmm.... a knob to adjust the brightness of headlights and tail-lights.... that would be fun
