something neat with the headlights

GhoSStRyda · 03-08-2008, 01:37 PM

last night i was parking my car and noticed that the headlights turned with the steering wheel!

i didnt remember reading about this in the manual but i probably just didn't pay attention if it was in there.

That´s interesting. Didn´t know that.

Is it just a slight turn that´s hard to notice or do they turn with the car quite obviously?

AMTEXX · 03-08-2008, 01:45 PM

What? NO way

headshokfatty · 03-08-2008, 01:46 PM

umm pretty sure mine DONT do that...

HRCboy · 03-08-2008, 02:43 PM

I never noticed it... can anyone confirm this?

erm.. all the 08 STi's I have driven haven't had that. Just the usual vertical adjustment... I'm 99% certain they don't but I'll fire one up at work on monday and see if they do.

My headlights turn with the hood. Everywhere I point my hood, my headlights follow....

johnlude85 · 03-08-2008, 03:11 PM

LOL, mine do this too on my 05...and im serious when i say that. all cars do. when your completely stopped and you turn the wheel back and forth, lock to lock, the whole front end of your car is actually pivoting (SP?) on the ground. i think thats what it is.

^^ You are refering to how caster works when you do that.

One cool thing I did notice is that, when it is pouring raining... at night, and your in traffic... watch how the rain hitting the Lamps make the Light dance around on the car in front of you...

At first I was Like "WTF is wrong with my lights" then I realized it was the rain dance!
