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.
Many agree about the low setting of the HIDs.
You can easily tweek them up yourself.

I have.
