Default How about them headlights?

Iv'e been driving the Z now for about 2 weeks off and on (450 miles) and i still can't get over how damn bright them headlights are. They are truly amazing, i always thought the headlights on my CBR were bright. they have nothing on these things.

I actually overestimated the brightness of the Z's headlights. Yet again I'm nearly blind in the dark.

Headlights on the 370Z are truly amazing. They deserve their own thread. I suppose to wear glasses but I usually don't. These Bixenons make my life a lot easier and "brighter" at night.

We had went to happy hour this last tuesday at this restaurant here in town, they were handing out these green envelopes which said: not to spoil the surprise, but you're going to win on the outside. something about bring these back unopened between june 21st and july 31st on them and open in front of server. No need just hold up infront of headlights to see if you're a winner. Preety cool. Free app and free dessert!!!!!!!!!

Agreed, they are very bright. I was actually pulled over by a cop who thought they were aftermarket.

Arkansas for the loss. I'm just waiting to tear a cop a new hole for pulling me for something so stupid.

I would have, but I was speeding, drunk and had a dead body in the trunk so I didn't really have a leg to stand on...

The headlights are great, but I wish there was an option for fog lights too.
