I think nissan screwed up when making the flips up lights on the z31 you can barly see 15 to 20 feet in front of you and it mosly lights up the road as opposed to lighting up the whole area in front of you ( with out driving with ur brights on and looking like an idiot)

-Yes i have new OEM bulbs -Yes my headlights are properly alligned

i think nissan could have done a better job in making the factory headlights better

Yea, the Z31 headlights kinda suck. I'm working on putting some J30 projectors in there, but in lieu of that... contact Melspace02 on z31performance.com. I believe he is still selling HID kits, and they are a vast improvement over the stockers.

shouldn't the road be in the area in front of you?

if you can't see they aren't aimed right, try again
