Not being able to see a formidable object just beyond the lighted area is a disadvantage. As you know, the use of high beams doesn't right what I believe to be a design flaw that carries potential serious consequences. Thank you again.

You might be able to return the vehicle for a refund or perhaps swap out the headlights, that provide a wider beam? I have the GT AWD with the HID and have no problems with them. They operate per specs. There is a distinct "line", but that never caused concern. I too, travel in rural areas, but for me, it's simply a matter of using the either low beams or high beams as the need arises. I hope you find a good solution to your dilemma! Take care, Vince.

I FINALLY had a dealer update my PCM (engine computer) module yesterday. I bought my car in July 2006, and had never had it done. If you bought your car last summer/fall and have either not been in for maintenance, or haven't had a dealer look at a check engine light, you could be running on the original software. In short, the new software REALLY changes the way the car drives - for the better. There have been posts about this before, but I didn't realize how much better the car would be after the flash. In a nutshell, turbo lag is almost eliminated, and the on-off engine behavior is gone. I've always found the rush of a turbo fun, but the new setup is much more drivable and useful day-to-day. Mazda says HP and torque are not changed with the new throttle map. Anyway, if you fall under the conditions I mentioned above, or are disappointed by turbo lag, talk to your dealer about getting the latest PCM update. Highly recommended. -c92 |

Replying to: maltb (May 29, 2007 10:23 am) All these lights are good for is styling, looks good, and nothing more. Unfortunatly a lot of other auto makers are adopting the same system, ops styling. On other forums owners of other makes with this system are expressing the same complaint. I awear I won't buy another car with projector headlights unless they are in some way improved. I hope the manufactures change from the projectors..
