tire psi dropped down to 12psi in both rear tires haha not likely, start to play with your headlight adjustment, i recomend adjusting and driving and keep going till your pleased. i personally like to see a little cutoff on the road at somepoint. (its a control thing)

I just had the headlights checks by the dealer and they report the lights are correctly adjusted right now - must be just the nature of the beast.

S2000 lights are projectors with sharp cutoffs. Since even the stock suspension is stiff, the car bounces a bit over imperfections. The bouncing makes it look to other drivers that you are flashing your lights at them.

this too. buddys of mine on group drives say my lights are bright as the sun and dancing all over due to suspension. i have aftermarket bulbs in my projectors though. and clear lenses. 06+ have fresnel lenses that are not as in your face as the early ap2s or ap1s.

I wonder if it might also be the Hilly and winding nature of our roads here in Vermont. Might be times approaching crest of hill when they are aimed right at windshield of someone cresting hill from other direction.
