Actually, as per the Quick Reference Guide, it says: "To lower the beam, turn the knob to the higher numbers." So maybe I should try raising the beams from 0 to a higher number. I'll have to play with this.

Yea, higher number lowers the beam. Compared to this guys mercedes whose beam throws a sharp cutoff across the parking lot the highest the beam goes seems kind of low. I haven't driven on any pitch black roads yet to see if it really matters though

Congrats on the car, but man....bad luck with that damage. Hopefully it can be repaired soon. After seeing this color, I'm now almost on the fence between that and the WRB. Looks good man.

Wasn't a huge fan of this color at first, but like SWP and LR, it is really growing on me.

What is it with DGM being the two first hit BRZ's?

Yesterday, I had someone back into it or something at the parking lot and dented/bent my bumper and busted my headlight assembly.

Yup, they said they got the European bumper by accident. Oh well, I have to bring back the car in like 10 days and they'll fix it at no charge. Weird that the Euro bumper would have those holes already drilled. I was a bit confused too because I thought the Euro bumper would have the headlight washer holes cut.
