Would you consider lowering the head lights a bit?
I'm thinking of doin that to mine, since I get flashed at from time to time (and this is with no heavy sub, and haven't even touched the head light positioning yet, I think mine was adjusted wrong from the factory )
mine were adjusted wrong from the factory, at ~ 20feet, the right beam is almost 4 inches higher than the left. ~5 minutes of playing the adjustment fixed it. just make sure you aim whatever light is higher, and aim it down more.
yeah, like mike said, depends on your headlamps
im running Silverstars (bright *** mofo's) because HIDs are illegal, and the cops around here are VERY strict when it comes to aftermarket HIDs (they make you flash your high beams sometimes when they pull you over, to verify you actually have them (whereas most HID kits are only low beams)
hrmm, if only there was a super-white (NOT blueish/purpleish) system that had a high and low beam, so at least i could pass inspection D:
for some reason, the low beams in the sentras are about as powerful as most cars high beams. it is a good thing, because there are a lot of places around where i live that don't have any street lights and a bit of traffic (which makes the highs pointless). they'll just have to deal with it, i usually do the quick flash right back.
also, i know it has happened several times here in my city, but drivers have been warned about flashing lights to someone without there lights on. whether they don't have their lights on or there is a cop ahead. anyways, it was a gang initiation and you flashing your lights gave them the go ahead to come get and kill your arse
also, believe it or not, i think it is illegal for you to flash your lights to other drivers to signal that a cop is ahead . we might infringe on their quota
lord knows i do...
but in seriousness i've been noticing lately that alot of people have been flashing (their highbeams) at me when i drive with my regular lights and stock fogs on at night, anyone else ever get this alot? or is this just a conspiracy of people in connecticut out to get me
It could be the fogs. Some cars have the most annoyingly bright fog lights. I've never had a Sentra coming at me with stock fogs on, so I'm not sure how ours stack up. I don't think our fogs are even all that useful during normal driving. They light up the road 5 ft. in front of you, but that's about it. They are helpful when driving on bad roads though. I've avoided a few potholes thanks to them.
Why not try driving without your fogs and see if you still get flashed?

My suspension is stock and this happens all the time to me. The car has never been in as much as a fender bender, the lights have been this way since the cars assembly.
I think it's funny someone actually started a thread about this. It annoys me a lot. It happens to me all the time. Stock suspension, stock bulbs, no heavy subs in the back. It is so bad that during my last trip to VA Beach I've had at LEAST 7 cars flash me on back roads. Oh and no, no COPs around. I think is just our headlights' alignment.....Nope, not a CT thing either!!!

i get the same ****, before and after i was lowered. im always getting flashed. my friends cant stand driving in front of me, they say my lights go right in there eyes... stock bulbs
I actually thinkg that too, sometimes. I really wish more people would do that here. It's very popular in Europe, and considered a natural part of being a courteous driver. I do it every time I see a cop while driving on a two-way road, but a lot of people jsut give me blank stares and seem confused
maybe . i'm just stating what i read in my local newspaper. this is according the police department. maybe it is an urban legend, but i'm just relaying what our police chief said in the paper.
