In Reply to: help aiming Xenons... posted by Pirson on April 29, 2001 at 22:39:01:

Xenons are very different from other lights. There is no light scatter like conventional lights, and they are 5 times brighter than halogens. You should have them adjusted to the manufacturer's specs. If you don't like them, please don't blind other drivers trying to make them do something they are not designed to do. The dealer won't be lying to you saying they are in spec just to piss you off. I have finally gotten used to my Xenons, but they still blind people going over hills and/or on curves to the right on 2 lane country roads. The area where they do not shine is very dark, but they excel at lighting up the right side of the road to see people and animals on the side. Don't expect the bright light on signs that are near to you, because the light just isn't there.
