Anyone else been flashed???
 
No, not that kind of flashed. Within an hour, I was flashed by 3 cars. A mercedes, pickup truck and a toyota all flashed me. I didn't have my highbeams on. So I flashed them back to show them I didn't have it on. First time I've been flashed since getting the X5 back in May. Anyone else??

No, never. Maybe the auto-level for your xenon lights isn't working?

TQ2K 11-03-2005 08:29 PM

Yes sometimes on really dark streets.

ROMEO 11-03-2005 08:39 PM

Me neither. I agreee with raxi. Check to see if your xenon lights level themselves right after you turn your headlights on. You should be able see a movement within 3 seconds after you turn them on. Try that maybe?

Eugene,

Please email pics of the SMG wire harness ...especially the connectors. I have my SMG wheel and will install it this weekend. There is a BMW junk yard a few miles away from and I am going to get some misc. wire connectors to put the harness together.

e-mail is [email protected]

Thanks

Philip

I get it a lot, especially on back roads...I can kinda understand why when I run into someone running the xenons back at me. I also run my fogs so I think all that may somewhat piss people off. My autolevel feature works just fine...simple fact is, these lights are very bright, almost to the point of blinding oncoming traffic.

It happens to me all the time, Drex is right, I guess people aren't used to xenons. Also when I'm behind a sedan, I can tell my lights are right in their rear view mirror. Sometimes people would let me pass and try to flash as well without success.
