shadows

[bstacey]

just got my 2005 300c and i noticed when i'm in low beam i see a shadow out about 100 feet in front of me. it is very noticeable especially when on a down hill grade or approaching buildings etc. it is like nice bright light out to about 100 feet than a sudden darkening where you can actually see the starting point. hope i have explained this clearly enough. anyone else notice this?

I'm not sure if what I've grown accustomed to seeing is a "shadow", but when my HIDS are on low, while traveling in an dark wooded-like area, I can only see really clear and bright on what appears to be "bottom half of the windshield". At one point, I wondered if my windshield had an imperfection that was only seen at night, thus not allowing a good view except for the lower half. Since it's my first car with HIDS, I figured I'd avoid the embarrassment of mentioning it, since maybe that's the way they look at night on low beam in wooded areas. Of course, when I hit them on bright, the night lights up for me and anyone behind me. I don't really have an answer for your problem, but they could be the same, but labeled differently by us. I thought I'd mention it, since you did, but once again, maybe HIDS project that way, huh? Likewise, I too, hope I've explained it thoroughly enough.
