Exactly the same as mine, really poor! I switched the bulbs for brighter ones but I'm not sure if it made much of a difference.Your lights could well be Xenon's on an Si, mine are lowly Halogens with less than candle like power at night!!
I fitted Philips GT200 uprated bulbs to mine. Marginal improvement though nowhere near enough. A lot of the guys over on the Z4 forums say to turn the white plastic height adjuster one or two complete turns and it improves things a lot but doesn't dazzle oncoming drivers. I have not tried that as yet but will give it a pop at some point soon. Of course you could always go down the LED or HID kit route but then you will have to faff around with them and swap them out at MoT time for the old candlepower Halogens or risk a fail. And given the Z4's headlight bulbs are an utter faff to remove and refit via the wheel arch liner, I don't know if I can be arsed with the hassle

Thankfully in 8 years of ownership I only ever had to change 1 bulb and that was a pain.
Some photos of my 911, bought it a year ago and loved it so far!
Fixed that for you.
The bulge still feels like a novelty
Beast, I love it.

Nice pair. Those doors are crying out to be merged
They are not all mine. We have 2 x garage blocks that sit in a different area to the houses.
There are strong lease restrictions that prevent stuff like that. I like the restrictions because it means the aesthetic and environment I bought into in 2003 is still there todayNice pair. Those doors are crying out to be merged
