Re-aiming Headlights
Re-aiming Headlights
I just started noticing several cars flashing me as if my high beams are on. My xenons are a little tick above where I believe they should be.
I just got back from dealer for brake issues, got new pads, same noise. I might head back if this isn't easy to do.

Re: Reaiming Headlights
Do you actually have an issue you're asking us, or are you just giiving us some info?
If it's about your Xenons, well. Line up your G and another car, facing each other, about 20-30 feet away. Turn on your G's headlights and get in the other car. If the glare is too much, then lower them a bit.
Most people don't like Xenon headlights because they do give off a lot of glare at the wrong angles and reflector Xenons are even worse. Sometimes people flash me as well, but it hasn't happened in a while, actually.

Re: Reaiming Headlights
How do I adjust them? Must I go to dealer?
I have gotten a lot of consecutive flashes from people. All I did to them was add H4 fog/highs, but I haven't messed with the xenons.

Re: Reaiming Headlights
Possibilities for being flashed upon (via vehicle headlights).
Sometimes people will flash you if you drive with your lower fog lights (the ones just under the Xenons) because they don't know any better. They assume that four lights means your driving with your highbeams. Just flash them back twice.
If the road is bumpy for the other car, it may look like they are flashing, but its just the angle of the lights changing. There's a annoying 15mph speed hump that enters the neighborhood I live in and every vehicle that goes over it looks like they are flashing their lights. Sometimes when I go over it, I get flashed by the oncoming traffic.
If its a fellow G35 driver or someone that knows you, they are probably just saying "Hi" in the dark.
