Ah, my most favorite peeve, (after the poop box auto trans) others here have no problem but YES they suck big time, it’s not just the adjustment, it is the lack of load carrying ability that allows the rear to squat so that the headlights are too high. If you have your headlights adjusted correctly without any cargo and then load something in the back (a sandwich, say) then they will be too high, or adjust them with a load so that they are useless when unloaded. I hope the SS has better rear spring/shock combo!

Never in the SS, either with the stock bulbs or when i went to Silverstars. Tho,,,,, in my '03 Silverado i got it LOTS(ditto on the stock/Silverstar bulbs in it too) I think in the truck the cutoff goes up n down over bumpy roads more.(can also tell when the same kinda truck is coming my way, so i kinda can see where some might think brights are on.) The wife's Subaru Outback got the same once inna while brights at her, thing too (stock bulbs)

Kind of expected it when i got the SS,,but luckily no deal.

I used to have "rules" to how i reacted to those that brighted me in the truck, i gave them the same as they gave me= a lil/short bright ,same back at them.A long "Hey A-hole" brighting, they got the same, and THEN they saw my brights :twothumbs

All three vehicles here had their lights checked/adjusted so that is not a issue here.

lows

Yeah you're right... mine came in a zip lock kind of bag, I'd much prefer a pouch. Where can I get mine? Should I call my dealer and demand a pouch or I stop making payments? I still have some warranty left... think it's a warranty item?








/ The only times I've been flashed at since getting the HHR were friendly 'warnings'

I've never been flashed but I did flash once. The ladies just laughed at me so I haven't done it since.
