I almost got pulled over because of my Xenons
So I was driving down this moderately busy road and this cop was driving down the other way. As he sees me and my supernova lights go by, he makes a U turn and comes up behind my rather fast. I don't know what happened here, though, maybe he saw the A C U R A name on the back and knew they wee factory, but he just turned down a dirt road and left. He couldn't have been rushing toward an emergenc, cause he followed me for like 3 miles w/o lights or siren. But anyway, I saw the cop originally on a hil, so maybe the lights blinded him and he thought something was up Can I add auto-levling to our lights maybe that would help? Any other ideas????

Dont feel bad, at least the cop didnt pull you over. One time I was driving around and a cop in front of me, got behind me and pulled me over. His reason "I just wanted to make sure this vehicle is registered." I guess hes not too thrilled about seeing young kids driving german cars Damn pigs.

Supernovas are HUGELY bright, violent explosions that result from a star dying. A large star wil then go on to form a neutron star, whereas HUGE star will form a black hole.

Auto-leveling? That must suck because then it'd point too low when you're going up a hill and you couldn't see stuff further up the hill. And if you're going downhill, they'd level up a bit and blind people coming the other way.
This thread reminds me I need to point my lights up a little higher since the Comptech springs have made them aim a little too low.

I have the self-leveling Xenon headlights on my BMW X5. It works pretty good, but if you are close to a wall or a car, you can see that it's constantly self-adjusting with the object in front of it.
As for going up a hill, the self-leveling only changes if your car is at a certain angle for a certain amount of seconds.
I've been high beamed by people in both the Acura and the BMW.
