I am one step closer to buying a SC XF, but had yet another question. How are the headlights on this car? Anyone driven on any dark, rural roads yet? I'm interested in high and low beam performance and how well they light up the road. One of the biggest gripes I have about my Infiniti is the gap between high and low beams where there is a dead spot. If you adjust the headlights higher, the high beams are pointing in the trees. If you lower them, the low beams are pointed directly down in front of you (the high and low beams are not independently adjustable.) Since I haven't been able to test drive an XF at night, I was wondering how everyone liked night time driving so far.

Thanks again,

Tony

Really? I would think the blue dash lights and ambient interior lighting would be enough of an excuse!! Let me know how it goes!

The lights are excellent with good coverage and no dead spots.

Love driving it at night (in fact just pulled in about 30 mins ago),

The coverage is very wide and I haven''t noticed any dark spots.
