Hey now, you make it seem like I'm the ONLY one to drive their car through their garage into their living room

Its weird, i noticed the notch against a garage, and i notice on a 2 lane road, but its really hard to see that the left side is a tad shorter than the right. Mostly all of the road is covered, i keep trying to look for the cutoff on the left but its so hard to tell. Love the color but not sure ide like such a distinct cutoff like that, would like kinda weird i would think. Even in that pic of the G stock, it seems like the cutoff shows up more, ie the left side light stops much shorter. Doesnt seem like the Z is that drastic but i could be wrong.

Anyway i still think Landrovers are the king. Every single one looks ridiculous down the road. Even newer maximas.

^landrovers uses the exact same projector as the maxima and they are exactly the same as all of the mercedes HIDs.

except for LR3, it uses a different one.

also 350z cutoff (06+) is sloping up like this




so it's harder to see where it is especially it's blurred out by frosted lenses and in a much larger distance.

lol i love how you know these things. I just know maximas and landrovers always look great, friend told me his other friends stock headlights on the max are dark as hell, cant imagine why. Theyre HID's. Could you post up a pic like on a 2 lane road, so we can see what it looks like with a lane dividing the road.

BTW, why do our cars come with the lense with the ridges? I assume cost?

I will have more in car shots later...it's kinda hard to do especially it's pretty suspicious to sit in the middle of the road at night and just taking pictures...haha...


the lenses come with ridges are because they want to eliminate the flicker...due to other drivers complaining that they are blinded by it.
