V8V Hid headlight beam

I have hid headlights with the leveling system. Do the headlight beams suppose to be cutoff when on. On my other vehicles they seem to just fade into the darkness when on.


Hard to explain. Maybe these pictures will help. The beam cuts across the road and the garage.

Thats how the European lights look like, don't know if the US has different ones.
Maybe you should have your adjustment checked.
Sadly V8V light quality in general isn't overwhelming...

Ok just curious. It's ok. The beam just seemed to be blocked off. I may check out adjustment sometime. I don't drive it at night that much anyway.

Funny because I just drove back home and was going to ask the same question.

I'm curious of the answer this post will get.

Easy adjustment to the headlights. Just remove the black cover in the wheel well. There are 2 star screws, one for dip/low beam and one for the high beam.
