Default Get'n Flashed...

Other vehicles on the road flash me at night when I have my head lights on. It happens a number of times every time I am out after dark. Does this happen to others??? It comes to the point where other drivers purposly flash me and limit my vision.

Aim your headlights lower...
If your car has ever been hit in the front (or lowered), your lenses are probably pointed slightly upwards (blinding oncoming traffic).
Park your car and turn on the lights, pointing them towards a wall (at night of course).
Do the measurements. There is a DIY in the under the hood section IIRC.

Doesnt happen to me, but I will do it to people who have their highbeams on or headlights pointing too high sometimes.

I had it happen a couple of times... I think the people that flash their lights at you mistaken HID headlights for highbeams (I'm assuming you have HID's?)

Never happens to me as my S2000 is stock and so is the beam height. My DD is also unmodified.

I flash all the bastards who put xenon HID in non retrofit housing blinding everyone because they need to know that it is pissing people off.

Yeah, basically like the others said, check to see if your shooting high.

I agree it's got to be the alignment of the cut-off of the beam. The S2000 is way too low for it to be any other issue that than.

^That's a good way to show them it's not ur highbeam and nothing u can do.

Have u ever thought ppl loved S2000 and just wanna say "HI!"? lol

PS: Look at other S2000's beam line when it hits the wall, it's lower on the left and higher on the right so it wont blind ppl. You may need to adjust it.
