Wanna see a neat-o video of my cars xenon headlights auto-leveling? :)

here it is. I think you need quicktime

Anywho, it's not MY car literally, but it's an '02 Audi A4.

It's the little things.....

Hey, that's pretty cool. I guess I'll just have to settle for continuing to blind people with mine.

Just curious, what happens when you're driving uphill or downhill?

<< Just curious, what happens when you're driving uphill or downhill? >>



well, it's quite debatable actually...cause no one has really been able to drive around AND look at them at the same time....

theory is that if you brake hard or something and you're front end noses down then they compensate...but not sure about long up or downhills....good question!

perhaps they're just novelties...heh

That car was parked...so what was causing the lights to move??? Was he fiddling with a control or something??? I don't get it, why would I want this?

When you turn on the car with the light's already engaged, they will move around like that (it's the only way to *force* them to do it so you can catch it on film)

otherwise, it's just something that comes with the xenon package.

i'm kinda trying to understand why they put the effort into making them do that as well....but it's COOL !

heheh

probably self calibrating.. or showing off can't you just jackup the car to see how it levels?
