My week old Ralliart has the factory HID package and I find that the low beam doesnt really light up far enough in front of the car. I drive to/ from work at ungodly hours on 100km/hr roads with no street lights and find I cant see enough in front with low beams. Anyone have any ideas, around town the hids are awesome though I will add!!!


You do not adjust your headlights to see more when the low beam is on. Your lights should be adjusted so the high beam is correct when on.

The idea of low beam is to give minimum light so not to blind other drivers.. Most suburbs have enough street lighting to see. Headlights on just help other drivers to see you and give you a little more light directly in front of you.

Oh Well, just in-case your Headlight's are out of adjustment and you really do need to adjust them.

But Remember .... Don't adjust them too high so you can see alot Better .... because you will most likely be Blinding oncoming traffic ..... *nono*

Yeah I do appreciate that, they are honestly set a tad low IMO... they just need a little tweek to fix it up a little bit. I hate cars that have superbright lights set real high myself, so I am respectful of that.
