Default Headlight Problems

Oncoming cars are flashing their brights at me as if I have my high beams on. I know the High Intensity lamps are bright and I hope that's it and not that my lights are alligned wrong. As one accelerates, the front lifts up and the notch effect may shine in their eyes. Anyone else has this problem?

Yup. Not sure if you can fix it - best advice I've received so far is to just ignore it.

the notch actually helps, if it weren't notched, it'd be even worse. Generally I just ignore it, if they persist, I flash them back. but just a quick one letting them know I don't have my brights on.

check to see if your dealer left in the front spacers upon delivery.

Front spacers? How do I check for that?

Use the search feature... that's what it's for.

Since I've lowered my S2000 I don't think I've had as many people flash me. I know its only an inch and a half, but it may be enough to make a difference. I've had people pull over and ride my ass and flash theirs at me, its crazy.

It is pretty nuts.. I removed my amber lenses and it makes it look even more bright, literally every other car flashes their brights at me.. it gets to the point where if I have a passenger in the car I can guess who is going to flash their brights at me with pretty good accuracy..

It's always a topic of conversation during night driving..

I play a game where I count how many cars there are that dont flash me before someone breaks the chain.. I got p to about 12 once!!

It's really goddamn annoying.
