High Beams + I guess some other thoughts

[geddesscts]

Small question but want to know how the high beams are? My 1at car, a Le Baron had great high beams, my current Pontiac Grand Prix GTP Supercharger does not. Most people will hardly ever use their high beam but just wondering? I plan on buying the v8 tech in or around March after being gung ho on a Cadillac CTS (car of the year 2008) - glad I waited and gave Hyundai a chance ~ I just went into a Hyundai dealership to check it out not expecting the cogs to start turning in Hyundais favour (badge snobbery - took me a week to get out of the mindset of looking at Cadillacs/Mercedes/BMW).

On another note - I am proud of the smart money sense of this decision, however, the only Genesis I have seen in Tampa had a Lexus symbol on the trunk. I will be opting for the wings instantly when I buy the car but really - why would anyone try to prove this car is a Lexus???

Hyundai has a ways to go with brand image but to buy a Genesis and stick a Lexus L on the rear. Be proud of this vehicle and the smart choice of value!

I have lurked in this forum for a while and appreciate all the opions, positive and negative about this car. I am hoping the suspension issues are fixed by the time I pull the trigger

In the meantime, I am jealous of you Genesis owners - all the best!!

By the by, love the V8 gets the same fuel economy as the V6 CTS but plenty more power!

I thought the Hi-Beams we anemic at best and showed little diference compared to the HID low beams.

I replaced the bulbs with H7 Sylvania Silverstar Ultra (no easy task!) along with the position lights right next door to LEDs.
These are whiter and are now a noticable contribution.

I think my hi-beams are quite good. Before daylight, this morning, I was in a construction zone and the high beams were lighting up cones at least a mile away.

Both beams do have an abrupt top beam cutoff and light up less of a dip than my previous lights. Probably easier on other driver's eyes.
