Default our headlights are huge...

so, as ii posted in the new noise thread, my wife has been driving my car for a week while i fixed her car.

I was heading to the mainland from the beach, and saw her going to work. She always has the lights on in lieu of daytime driving lights.

From the front those headlights are flipping huge looking.... lol

It looked like two headlights with a car behind them... i could not believe how big they looked from that view.


I like it...... uber cool looking

5 mph on the top end as I recall, which makes me wonder how much torque it takes for the headlight motors to raise them at full speed?

If you need to raise your headlights at full speed ...you should be culled from the herd. Talk about over driving your headlights!

Perhaps this is a way of improving braking efficiency from high speeds - raise headlights as you apply brakes heavily for reduced stopping distances. Perhaps someone could hook up a system to do this automatically on predefined speed and braking parameters.

Perhaps we could claim that the 928's were the first vehicle to have an air brake, allbeit a manual one.

Another first.
