Xenons - People flashing you

[Daipac]

Since I have had the 172 I havent got enough fingers and toes to count how many people have flashed me because they think I have the main beam on but it is only the Xenons being that much brighter. Anyone else had this done to them ?

 

[McBunny]

yeah but people dont do it now as they are used to so many cars having them

 

[Tom]

Yeah!! sh*t loads

Both of dads cars have xenons one of them has bi-xenons

if anyone flashes me they get flashed back!!!

 

[Rick]

Ive noticed that sometimes when someone is driving the other way with xenons on, it looks like they are flashing their lights. I think its a bit sh*t tbh, it sometimes looks like people are flashing you out of junctions and stuff when theyve just gone over a bump! Can be dangerous.

You should try driving a LHD one, in the UK, without adjusting the lights ( I cant be arsed) Virtually every car flashes you, so you just have to hit them with the full beams to really annoy them

 

[cliotuRS]

yup annoy them

 

[Turkish]

yeah i used to get it all the time, dont as much as i used to but still get the occasional dumbass who thinks you have your main beam on flashing at me

Got flashed about 10 times along the same bit of road (m25 to epping, bout 3 miles if that) on saturday, was doing me nut in! Just kept flashing people back!

[toms_cup]

[KDF]

Hmm, scottish people must be more tolerant, ive only been flashed once to which I ofcourse returned the favour.. muhahaha

 

[gunnergibson]

I bought some tinted xenons from ebay..6000k output on the legal boundaries..i seem to get flashed also...lol i just flash them back.

 

[Lagerlout]

Never been flashed, but a couple of my mates have said that when Im following them, my lights seem very bright and a little on the high side....

 

[silvagti]

Hey a Polo gti owner, how are you, my last car was a 3 door, Red Gti.

I think theyre just flashing you to say hello because yourre driving a 172!!! So just give them a flash back to say hi.
