| Description of the problem | The hid headlights on the subaru->impreza->wrx->sti sit way too low. I cannot see the entire road in front of me. The headlights need to be raised up so people can see the road better. The headlights can be moved up and down with a switch on the sti and even when set at the highest settings the headlights end about 20 feet on the ground in front of the vehicle. I almost hit a kid because i could not see him in the dark! Must be fixed matter of safety and emergency!*jb |
