Xenons

[Spazman]

...do your HID lights seem angled toward the ground more than they should??

I crank my 3 up at night and the headlight field of view doesn't seem right. I've had friends and family drive it at night and they all agree. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I tried to adjust the angle from the knob inside the car, but the lighting is still pretty weak.

Sure, the lights illuminate a good 10 feet or so well enough. But distances farther off are a bit darker than I'm used to.

So, you 3-owners with the xenons, I'd like to hear what you have to say... Thanks, guys!

I didnt want my payment any higher or I woulda got em. I love the Navigational system but I know of no one that has it, I hope they keep offering those cool options!

I have the xenon package and I love it. The lights have a perfect angle, just like all those luxury cars out there. Check your level control switch and make sure its on 0. The book may tell you different, but if you keep the switch at 0, you will have the optimal beam angle. Mine came factory at 2.

I also have Xenons, they do seemed aimed a little lower the some previous vehicles I have owned, but so far the illimunation is more then adequate. It seems to hit a wider path then other vehicle lighting, but doesn't go high enough as to blind other drivers.

Try playinging with the leaveling function and see if that helps.

mine seem to be ok... any higher & they would be blinding the oncoming drivers..

I have the xenons and have the same thoughts - they do appear to be angled too low, and they are set as high as they can go (at level "0"). When there are people in the back seat, which raises the nose of the vehicle, they seem much brighter and I can see so much better. anyone know if the dealer can adjust this?????
