strudle Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 I own a "57" 1.2 urban fox, its been a great car and still liking it v much, however when ever i decide to take a drive at night i always see the car in front adjusting there rear view mirror, i have also even had a driver kindly put his rear fog light on to retaliate to what seems to be my inconsideratation, that was until i decided to flash him with the full beam to prove i werent being a typical micra driver and being dumb leaving my full beam on. i have the height of the beam set to its lowest, looked at the bulb positioning within the cluster, and neither myself or VW have found error,yet the mirror adjustments continue in the car in front.has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to resolve it??hope to hear soon, and please if im being dumb feel free to take the pi$$.

Redfox Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 Hmmm , haven't noticed anyone getting agitated................. There is a control on the left column stalk for adjusting the beam according to how much wieght you're carrying, but you've probably tried changing that, right?Couldn't your VW dealer actually test the car at night. Seems a bit irresponsible of them not to have done so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick1990 Posted May 25, 2008 Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 hi i work at vw in carlisle and the reason for this is beacause the fox is alot higher up that any other vehicle on the road therefore your lights are in there line of view.my fox is lowered so i do not have this problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strudle Posted May 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2008 yeah tried changing the stalk settings, its been set to its lowest position, im gonna get VW to take another look as im not sure what they did last time to check, another fox owner i know seems to think her beams are fairly high also so maybee its normal.

I think not. No, it sounds like a one-off problem to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick1990 Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 check the bulbs are located properly as vw bulbs tend to come out or get dislodged in the headlight unit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well, I always wear spectacles with anti-glare built into them, so they can flash away all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsumaru Posted June 2, 2008 Report Share Posted June 2, 2008 (edited) I've actually noticed that my lights are very bright up front. I notice that signs road signs are lit up by me.I have a 57 fox also.Has anyone else noticed that the break lights are EXTREMELY bright??? I look in my review mirror and see ALL the signs and number plates behind me are all red!!! not modified!!*edit*if you didn't see my thread, i've got tinted windows and i still light up all the signs and number plates when i break.. so it must be the side lights that are bright and/or the middle break light Edited June 7, 2008 by Tatsumaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
