| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The new high intensity discharge headlamps on many of these late model bmw (and mercedes, acura, etc.) cars are excessively bright. while they all seem well focused to protect the oncoming driver from too much light, in real-life conditions where roads are anything but perfectly flat, even the occasional exposure to the direct beam of these lights is enough to cause temporary blindness. those who think that these lamps improve their night vision on dark roads should first try dimming their instrument pannel lighting. *ak |
