182 owners - headlights

[b0redtodeath]

Do any of you guys (and girls) get flashed by other oncoming motorists at night? I suffer from this almost everytime I drive in the dark - must be the superior lights we have.

 

[st33ly]

I can understand why you get flashed because they are so fecking bright! Too bright!!!

 

[Daz]

Hehe, I remember everyone saying this when the 172 came out aswell!

 

[b0redtodeath]

Glad Im not the only one, I thought the self-levelling mechanism was knackered

 

[172 Exclusive]

Or youve got your "Foglights" ON!!!!

If that is the case then you deserve to be blinded in return..

 

[Funkyjahooner]

Because mine is set to auto i NEVER drive with my foglights on

I have been flashed once or twice but I am far more worried about the auto lights as sooner or later they are going to get me a kicking!

I pulled up behind a golf cabriolet the other day on a roundabout underneath a motorway and just as the girl driving looked in her mirror the bleeding lights came on (this was mid day and it was bright and sunny). Then on the next bit of dual carriageway they turn off just as I pulled out to over take her. Made me look like a right n0b.

Happened to me a few times, I have to drive through a forest every day.

Lights going on and off, just cant be bothered to switch it off. lol

 

[telford_mike]

^^ hate it when that happens!

 

[RobHardyUK]

lol good old ttechnologie

 

[The Bear]

The only problem I have is that you cant turn the auto function off whilst the engine is running. Or at least havent been able to when I tried.

What if you need to switch the lights off at some point when you are stopped?

 

[morris182]

I normally just put them on sidelights. dont think theres much else you can do without switching off.
