2k2 hid, been flashed yet?

I have been getting flashed lately for some reason. But man does it **** them off when I hit the high beams back at them, BLIND THEM! hehehe, I think they shut up after that!

Anyways, I think people are stupid, because they don't have HID so they flash us!

Just maybe, and i am being serious, you dont have them aimed properly. I had the same problem and it was that they were aimed in correctly.

Aiming procedures can be found in the search, i wrote them once, but if i remember correctly, it is 25FT from a FLAT WALL, and mark a line on the wall or a piece of tape on the wall that is 4"s BELOW the center line of your headlight assemblies from the ground.

As a matter of fact, here is the website.

Do that, not the way people keep talking about just lower it a tad each time. This is the MOST accurate way.

I get only well endowed women to flash me when I drive my Maxima... Oh, wait, you mean headlights... um, oh, yeah, that too.

I figure it comes with having great headlights.

As long as they aren't too low, and about equal, I don't mind.

I haven't gotten flashed yet. The Acuras are the ones that are annoyingly bright and/or aimed too high. I've passed other 2K2 Maximas and think their HIDs are the least offensive of the lot.

I've had my 2K2 since October and have been flashed about half a dozen times. Really sucks for them when they get flashed back. I used to get flashed ALL the time when I had my 87 Max. The parking lamps were just to the inside of the regular headlamps, so every oncoming car thought the parking lamps were the low beams and the low beams were the high beams. Dumba$$es
