i passed by an e46 tonight and his xenons were so bright i could see it from like 1 block away. it was blindin me for a moment when he was approaching me though, what do u guys think? the e46 doesnt have angel eyes either and i wonder if the oem xenons in e46 were brighter than those in e90? or i think i put my headlight too low? like 2 car lengths is what i have now...is it too low? or just right?

Might need to adjust them so they are lower... go park about 10 feet from the wall and make sure that your low beams are not pointing up...

I can see mine moving all the time espically with the high beams on. Try it with the high beams and let me know what you think then. Also make sure your lights are in the automatic posistion because if they are not they will not be adaptive and never rotate around curves.
