I wish the Civic did have the adaptive headlights that point round bends.
This is the first car I've had with HID headlights and I find that on unlit country roads at night its sometimes difficult to see the curb on tight bends.
I think that the beam pattern is so precise that the normal sideways scatter that I'm used to is not present with the HIDs.
I know I'm moaning a bit but I also find that the forwards pattern is arguably a bit too precise as well, its a fantastic white beam up to the line, but then further on than this is just black.
I do think my beam is set too low and I intend to take it back to the dealer for a check when I get the chance.
