I just purchased a new 2005 Rio-Yellow S2000 for my wife and I have a question about the headlights. It appears the headlights are un-even....especially the low beams. The driveside low-beam is definitely lower to the road then the passenger side...... Is this normal to avoid blinding oncoming traffic?

Sorry if it's a stupid question but can't find any info in the owners manual but I figured the experts on this site would know. Oh -- my dealers mechanic didn't know either --- go figure!

Thanks and I LOVE THIS SITE!!!

yea thats normal.

the headlight on the driver's side is set lower to avoid blinding oncoming traffic.

if the cutoff looks something like this, its normal

No worries... I was a little freaked the first time I drove mine at night too. The terminator lines are a trip on pitch black hilly roads.

Being in deer country, I get more than a little concerned driving into a road dip and having the lighted distance minimized. I suspect that you and the S2k could get really personal with any mammal that happened to be on the road.

 

I'm curious ... what page in the manual?

As for deer ... push the signal stalk forward to enter "blind the deer" mode.

 

Headlights attract deer. If you see one, turn em off until you pass.

 

RTFM

 

 

I just started driving around at night without headlights to avoid deer all together.

 

it attracts cops though.

best to just not drive after dark.
