People think I have my hi-beams on at night and give me the flash.

I noticed zero decrease in visibility once I put the springs on.

If anything, I feel they don't let me see far enough out. It only gets in people's eyes when I crest a hill. If I hit a bump/pothole, it might look like I'm flashing my lights at them. Nothing to do with them being aimed wrong.

Yeah I know what you means like when theres a incline or decline on a hill it looks for a second like a flash.

With the low ride height of our Z, I wonder how could the Z low-beam shines like high-beam to someone's mirror???

If those drivers complain about the low-beam of the Z, they'd have turn blind looong time ago with the high volume of low-beam from the SUVsss

agree???

No, that's how it came out of the camera. Canon 5D Mk-II with a nice lens on it.

Are you saying aim them lower? I feel like they are aimed fine. See the photo.. you can see the angle..

I told you guys it's only when going over a hill or road grade changes, are you reading this??

Dont bother re-aiming them if you're only getting in peoples eyes on bumps and hills. If anything, get a hotter bulb(meaning 6k and up) so you get a blue tint and thus less output. I'm pretty sure there's a DIY floating around on the forum. Killer pic BTW, definately wallpaper material

thanks for the input.

I wish I could get a higher res version for you guys, but he doesn't normally give those away for free.

I've had numerous friends tell me that my headlights are very bright and one commented how incredibly bright my high beam is after I flashed him.

You may need to lower your car more.

maybe they're just signaling you there's a cop hiding in a bush up ahead?
