Lights

What does everyone think about the brightness of the lights at night.
I feel my old 370Z had brighter lights, HID vs current LED, and that the light throw on the road was better.

To me the low beams seem bright enough, but they seemed to be aimed pretty low. It's very easy to out drive the headlights on low beam.

On the other hand, the high beams are dazzling. I was using mine the other night, and the reflection from a yellow road sign made me want my sunglasses.

I haven't felt any issues with mine so far!

The high lights are pretty good. I had a 300ZX and felt their's showed much further down the road. They were the best lights I've ever had in a car.

Ours came unevenly aimed straight off the show floor LOL
The shaping of the headlights doesn't help much either, but all things considered they aren't the worst we've seen.

I've found the lights to be the minimum level of acceptable. The Z does this in a couple areas.. likely to save $$.
I'd give the headlight system a thumbs down. The auto-high beams aren't reliable.. and with any sort of hills and turns you might have to hold the brights on... and I mean hold the stalk back. There's auto-HBs and manual hold brights.. there's no flicking the brights on and leaving it.

If you twist the headline switch all the way forward to the on position (not the auto position), then you have manual control of high beams. You can push the turn signal lever forward to turn high beams on and they'll stay on.

Manual headlight mode for manual high beams? That makes sense...

There is a great YT vid of a night drive in a new Z. The influencer shows that the drivers side low beam is AIMED LOWER than the passenger side, to keep from lasering oncoming drivers.

F it. Found it:
