lol, so someone agrees with me, and my dad said it was fine and im like no, it sucks. i think it's cause it doesn't reflect to the side well? it lights up straight ahead fine, i just pointed em up a little bit, but not to much as to disturb other drivers, but honestly, i can't see two feet to the side of the car, even when the lights were level, with such a nice car, you think the headlights would be just as good ya know? sorry if this was like a mini rant lol

Are you whining about the reflectors?

If you are unsatisfied, retrofit some projectors in there.

ive seen a couple stock ES's and the light output is the same from my non HID 99 infiniti i30t i think its acceptable from the cars that don't have a stock/retrofitted HIDS's ive got them stock on my 2000 with the auto leveling feature and i love it
