On early beetles n ghias they had turn headlights mounted much Lower closer to the bumper.
The U.S. Had headlight height laws so vw adjusted the height.
There is an actual legal height min and max that your light beam should be in. But even in not that much of a geek to remember it
I don't think the bus had a low light but some guys say low light bay to make it sound rare

yeah, at work, they have a "tool" thingy made by hella that they use to adjust the beams on the headlights..

thanks for the 411.. :D

dude's name is wilksey i think weed freak, the name on the side of the car is his name, another stupid move on his part, lol..
umm, i'm in a bunch of air-cooled vw groups, and this was pretty popular when it came out.. i forget all the deets on the engine, but i do know that he's sold the car since this time and is working on something new..

@cannabineer , did you hear about this yet? i'm pretty sure i remember you saying you were a fan of the show, well, the old show, and i think you liked james may the bestest, but still, pretty scary judging by the pix alone.. the article said he's not badly hurt, but was flown from the crash scene as i guess a precautionary measure..

I hadn't heard of this; thank you for the link.

If I remember, this isn't Richard's first rodeo. He had a crash some years ago with a head injury (quickly Googles) yeah in 2006 ...

yes sir, he had a pretty serious crash a few years ago, well, over a decade ago, according to your googles, driving some sort of top fuel car i do believe.. he was in a coma for a week or two after that shunt, gladly this one wasn't as serious.

Why is my wife's car sitting a good bit lower on the rear drivers side than the rear passengers side? I just walked past it and it's noticeably lower. Like something is wrong, lower. So what's wrong? It's a 2011 impreza sport if that helps. Google was surprisingly unhelpful.
