Default DIRECTIONAL HEADLIGHTS - they move quite a bit

one of my headlights stopped working, and while looking at views of people replacing them, I saw this.

I was aware that when you turn, a beam comes on facing sideways, and fades out once you straighten up, but I did not know that the low beams themselves move SO MUCH.

Quite entertaining....

Yes, I did find it very enjoyable to watch, especially that one right turn. Quite entertaining!

But finding that video quite entertaining really applies to such a limited group of us that it's hilarious to me. It takes a special kind of crazy / OCD / technophilic person to find a video of a car's headlamp quite entertaining. Count me in.

Audiworldians FTW!

PS Must. Get. European Directional Headlamps!!

Details now, scott. We do have a classified section you know.

Doubt they'd work on my '04s anyway
