Hey All,

I'm looking at buying some new headlights for my VRX.

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CCFL-Angel-E ... d72&_uhb=1

I remember reading in the car manual that the headlights "follow" the steering, in that they will angle in the same direction you're turning to throw more light into your path.

Firstly, I haven't really noticed this but I've only had the car for a few days.

Second, will these (or any) aftermarket headlights do the same?

Thanks!

-Sean

The lights that "follow" the steering are the OEM HID lights,these were only fitted the Aspire and the Evolution models.

I see! I guess I was reading the wrong section of my book. That answers it perfectly, will be no worse off with the new headlights.

Thanks!
