i have the 8k hids in my gs3 and im just cruising behind people then they slow down and get behind me and turn on there high beams and leave them on. but i think they are stupid our lexus have auto diminig mirror. i get this about 10 times a day. any body else experience this problem



timmy

 

i don't have hid on my gs, but i have hid for both low beam and fogs on my acura. so i know how you feel..... usually what i do is, slow down, let them get ahead again, and then get to their ***, then show them my low beam, fogs, AND high beam, until them gave up.

and yes, i have autodimming on all my cars too.... don't worry, those people, they
1) don't know about hid
2) don't know about autodim
3) don't respect our cars...

 

It's because you don't have autoleveling in your GS and/ or improper cutoff.

 

gs300:

i'm an owner of 8k hids too and i dont know where you guys live if someone could not know what hids is (the was an article where government might shut HIDs down 'cause of so many complains from people who don't like hids)

anyway, as i was saying i dont know where you guys located so that people dont know what hids is but around where i live a lot of cars like 75% have hids and no one gets on your *** just to start blinkin.. and not for reason 'cause other car has diming mirror and only for reason that those hids aims right on the ground and not in mirror of next car.. so what i would suggest you is to make sure that your head lights is aim right and if they not you should adjust them correctly so you wouldn't blind anyone while driving your car, i'm sure you wouldn't want someone do that to you too and they are okay then those people who's blinkin to you in rear window is just some stupid punks 'cause normal person wouldn't do such a stupid thing, probably just got high or somethin'.. anyway where are you located? i'm just curiose..

rominl:

some kids start calling you name.. are you going call them names too? if someone blinks you just either ignore them or let them go and if you dont think they respect your car that's their loss and i really sorry for them..

 

I had that problem one time.. And guess what it was on a back country road in West Va.....go figure

 

heh.. when i'm driving to other states i dont see that many cars with HIDs.. only in big states/city/town..

so that when your *** is on the street .. you in center of everyone attention

 

Exactly. You should be able to equally adjust your headlights down just a hair to help with your blinding-itis. If not, take it to the dealer and inform them of your issue.

 

There are times when I'm driving behind people and then they pull over to the side, let me pass, wait for me to get about 100 feet away, and then come back out onto the road. Ha ha!

 

by the way..

does anyone knows how to adjust level on halogen on 2nd generation of GS (ie. 98+)

thanks in advance

 

8000K?

There is a "screw" on headlight housing...but you should probably have your Lexus dealer do it instead...

I have only had one person do that to me (get behind me and then high beam me...) so I got behind them and then high beamed them so they understood that I don't have high beams on...I think I blinded them...

What can do? Some people are just stupid...

 

very rare but sometimes i get it too, although with my 6% tint and my deeming mirror.. i dont notice if a big *** trunk gonig breath to my neck with his high beams

 

I get people flicking their high beams at me when they are coming from the opposite direction...They always think my high beams are on. I don't even have HID's, its so annoying!!! I sometimes then flick my high beams on to show them what my high beams look like...

 

Teach those guys a lesson and show them how good your brakes are.

 

Didn't you just say "where i live a lot of cars like 75% have hids and no one gets on your *** just to start blinkin.." I guess you are talking about when you in "other states"

 

no, i'm refering to same place

as i said here where i live a lot of cars has those hids so no one getin on your *** and start blinking.. but very very they do.. (probably *they* from another state and they just passing by or something .. hehe )

and no i dont want to show them how my performance brake works.. 'cause i know their ****y brakes wouldn't work and they'll smash into my car... no thanks.. i think i'll pass
