loOnItUnEz · 07-25-2007, 08:31 PM

I dont know if any of you guys experience this, but lately ive been getting flashed a good 5 times a day when my lights are on.

Anyone else gettin the same problem? + still using stock bulbs

aztec · 07-25-2007, 09:44 PM

ctgazer · 07-25-2007, 09:46 PM

loOnItUnEz · 07-26-2007, 05:54 AM

OriginalFrak · 07-26-2007, 06:22 AM

I enjoy getting flashed but only by the ladies...

Have any Volvo drivers ever pulled alongside you and said "your lights are on mate.."

loOnItUnEz · 07-26-2007, 06:53 AM

Your xenons self leveller must be quite a bit high, since I have raised mine a couple of turns up from stock and still dont get flashed.

loOnItUnEz · 07-26-2007, 07:04 AM

Its just been happening since ive lowered the car, need 2 lower them a wee bit

ShereKhan · 07-26-2007, 11:14 AM

Try waving back to them

I take it you aren't running all lights (chav special) fogs on as well as main lights.

rjs · 07-26-2007, 11:38 AM

Those muppets using the fogs when it's not foggy as they think they looks good annoy me too

Even worse when they have the fogs on & just the side lights.

I thought that was a gen-you-wiiine method for extracting 400bhp from a 1.2 Corsa? Everyone knows that 'sides n fogs' adds a degree of sportiness to a non-hot-hatch unparallelled by any other tuning/styling product on the market today.....

Dipped beam - 0-60 14 seconds
Sides n fogs - 0-60 sub-5 seconds

Not

hmi1750 · 07-26-2007, 12:08 PM

how do you level the xenons?

ShereKhan · 07-26-2007, 12:15 PM

Aren't they self levelling?

As I thought you can't overide their start point unless you maybe poke the ODBC connection

330cdsport · 07-26-2007, 12:17 PM

There is a little plastic screw at the top of the xenon unit that you can put an allen key/phillips screwdriver into.
Make sure you have the car lined up again the wall with the lights on and then turn the screw one turn at a time to lower or raise each beam.
Remember to count the total number of rotations you do so that they can be reset to default again.

They are self levelling, but you can adjust the target spot for the self-leveller mechanism.

not really been flashed that much only a few times in 15k

hmi1750 · 07-26-2007, 12:30 PM
