Re: Xenon lights, help?

[BRIT4VWS@aol.com]

Personally I think that Audi can't really aim their lights any higher because 
if they did it would cause to much glare for oncoming drivers because these 
lights are so bright.  I was driving toward one from the side last night and 
I was amazed at how much it looked like there was a small sun heading toward 
me (he was up on a hill I was on the bottom).  Maybe it is the government or 
something limiting them but I think they may actually have a good reason.  I 
have driven BMW's with this system and it seems to work really well and the 
lights don't seem to "flicker" as they do with the Audi's.  The most 
impressive I have scene is the Mercedes S series.  I was driving next to one 
of these and he was lighting the road way beyond what my super white dot's 
and my compact driving lights could and that is a lot of lighting from my 
car.  Maybe Audi just needs to find a new combo to make these things work 
right.  Also the Passat version sold in Germany seems to be better than the 
versions we get here from what I can see looks like even higher quality.  
Just some thoughts I wanted to share.
