BGs getting high beamed

[GISS-90BG]

Does it appear that I'm getting high beamed constantly because the BG is so low that headlights of oncoming cars shine straight into your eye-balls? Or am I getting blasted with high beams?

Maybe I'm crazy, but I went for a drive tonight and a few 4WDs and a Tarago, in particular, lights were insanely bright.

[karamello]

yep, ive noticed the same thing actually and was comparing how low the bg is compared to all the other cars at work...

i keep ****ting my pants and thinking that cops are up ahead with radar guns

[bourbon]

4wds and utes and vans will always seem like they have brighter lights cause of their height...its not high beams...

[GISS-90BG]

M'kay. Kewl. Lucky I haven't been high beaming them back. :)

i got flashed the other day...i think the guy thought i had highbeams on :p hahah just my hids in my headlights that are lowbeam only...

[hitokiwi]

i was driving out to dural last night... had a 4wd following me most of the way. I ended up pulling over and letting him pass..

[bourbon]

haha you realise you have a tab on ya rear vision mirror that you just flick so the lights arent as bright :p

[hitokiwi]

is that what that thing does? nope... never messed around with that thing... was curious about it on more than a few occaisions haha

stupid soccer mums..

it seems the same in the hardtop too, i hate 4wds :(

[bourbon]

its cause we got lower cars than 4wds... they sit heigher...the lights are angled to shine abit further meanin the low beams come right into our faces...its simple logics :p

[zappy65]

or get a HID kit.....speaking of high beams, i havent been high beamed yet with my HID kit either....ido have em just that little bit lower to compensate...

I never realised just how low the BA Astinas are until I hoped back into my sisters BA hatch after driving the SP23 for two years. Some people call them an 'old mans car'. I'd just like to know how many old 'men' really drive them given how difficult it would be getting in and out of the damn things!

[project.r.racing]

my BA is 60-70mm lower than standard, drving in the BK is like driving a higher 4WD... so i understand that.

[Cosmo Dude]

If you want to try low then drop an HB on it's guts :D

you'd be suprised by how many old women drive them...

Not so much old men tho.

[MrShadow]

Yeah... that's why I wished I'd had the money to turn mine into a sleeper. Give those ricers (not the true modders) at Terrigal or Somersby something to think about after an 'old man car' leaves them for dead... Oh well.

[RedLineResident]

Its the most rewarding feeling.

I like that word, 'ricers', so true in so many cases.

[GISS-90BG]

Yah, true. Though I don't have a problem with anything anyone does to their car. Only the attitude that the driver has towards cars and other car enthusiasts.

That's actually my definition of Ricer. If somebody adds a massive drag wing just because they want to, I don't really care. If they think it makes the car look 'like, fully hectic, yo' or 'improves grip when cornering, yo' (on a front wheel drive Honda Civic), THAT'S when they become ricers. My car does 0-100 in 4.3 seconds after a CAI and new exhaust/extractors... yeah, whatever. :p
