Blinded by the light.
 I just returned from picking up my son from work, and I was Beamed by no less than 5 oncoming vehicles. WTH!!! 
Anyone else get high beamed much?
Maybe my headlamps need adjustment?
I wouldn't mind it so much if I were being  "flashed" 
I know, DUHHH.

Actually I don't drive much at night with the vette, but the times I did I never got flashed. Got any excess weight in the trunk? Or did you play with the height of your car?

 I have no idea what problem is....but I know the song!!!!
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
Another runner in the night
Blinded by the light
Wrapped up like a deuce
(fade out)
Madman drummers bummers
Indians in the summer,
With a teenage diplomat,
In the dumps with the mumps,
As the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat,
With a boulder on my shoulder,
Feeling kinda older,
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasin,
sneezin' and wheezin,
the calliope crashed to the ground.

Wow Jim
 I had a feeling someone would pick up on the song title, but you couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.

lol funny
but anyways, yeah, i get highbeams flashed at me often. its great because i can predict it. it only happens to me on a long lonely road w/ little traffic and nothing entertaining to the sides. this allows the person to focus on my bright headlights... and since they have nothing to distract them like traffic, they think "oh man, i think his highbeams are on, what a douche, i'll show him! i'll show him! i'm going to flash my highbeams at him when i'm really close!"
and since i'm on a long lonely high road with no distractions to the side i'm thinking, "man, this guy is SOOO going to flash his beams at me, and he's thinking right now 'oh i'll show this guy' i'm sure he's thinking that. but u know what? i'll show him! i'll flash him right after he flashes me! that'll show him"
so i prepare with my hand on the lever and the instant he flashes me i flash him with my halogen arc HID highbeams and i know for a fact that "i showed him" lolol. yeah...

Not in my C5,, maybe its just the HID lights you have. Alot of people think they are on bright because they are better than the halogen ones we see so often.

Cool
That's probably it.
I just wanted to make sure I wasn't in need of an adjustment.
