Any of you GC drivers get flashed as much as me???

I mean seriously - this week it's been 5 or more people every night.

I even get people who drop behind me, tailgate, then turn on their brights (to which I promptly reply in turn - minus the tailgating - if traffic conditions allow).

Is this common with the GC chassis in anyone's experience - people perceiving the normal headlamps as brights??

I've got stock heads, though the bulbs are new. And there's a chance my fogs are over-lamped, but they point nearly straight down. wtf?

 

I don't know Bielke's HID's are properly aimed and I have no problem when he follows me ... I guess check to see there aimed right and go from there.

 

I have never gotten flashed in my GC........tehe, boobs.
U can try angling your headlights down alittle bit.

 

i had this guy in a 2008 cobra...dinking around behind me once (im a brighton version of the impreza but still wtf AND wagon) it was the exit just after wayzata..heading on to 12 toward mound he was swirving behind me and flashing me like he was in some hurry..it was getting quite annoying..if i only had a glass bawls bottle...ha..bad thoughts

 

nope...

 

yes!!! all the time!!!!!!


two months or so ago on my way home from firestone i got pulled over by a state trooper who thought my yellow fogs were my headlights!!

WTF!

 

I haven't got any lights flashing at me but I have gotten some idiot in a truck tailgating me though.

 

all the time, i have HIDs and i am lowered but i aimed my lights to the right and lower than they are supposed to be. i still get flashed at least twice a day

 

I also noticed I get flashed alot.

 

i think we are just sexy..thats all...period...everyone wants to flash us

 

I get it every now and then. I have had someone drive my car (following me somewhere ie to drop off a car). I noticed that the lights on my GC seem really bright in the rear view mirror.

 

Nope.

Only had the car for a day though

 

i am retrofitting some projectors from a BMW m3 into mine soon, hopefully that will help

 

:laugh: The Gc is a very sexy car!

 

I get flashed, but it's only because my lights point pretty much straight out.:laugh: I see great, but others aren't so happy about it.

And yes, the older Imprezas are dead sexy.

 

Dead sexy GC's FTW.

Your lights stock and reasonably aimed or not so much?

 

align your headlights

 

Yeah, stock and not touched by me. The top of the pattern basically sits horizontal. If I'm behind a car, the top of the pattern sits at the bottom edge of the rear window. They're not pointing up, no, but I know they are not pointing as low as some may prefer. No, I'm not new to headlight aiming and proper setup. I just never bothered specifically and have no tremendous need to adjust them from where they are. They are aimed decent enough really but not appropriate on the technical level if one is to get specific.

 

If you ever drive on backroads when its dark I suggest you align those to spec for your own safety.

 

This! Whoops. Didn't quite realize just how bad they were. So bad that now I'm surprised people were flashing me because my headlights were probably pointing a ways above them.

Didn't get all technical, just pointed em a bit further than the fogs reach, went for a drive and slightly readjusted. We'll see if that eliminates the flashing. Prolly will.
