Seriously... I hate my own damn headlights! People flash their high beams at me as if I have mine on, but they're just the stock headlights... I've been seriously considering going to a mechanic to have dimmer lights installed lol

    A lot of vehicles have a beam dip adjuster in the cab. Mine pops out when I press the center of the light control selector.

    Officially, they are to correct for a heavy load in the back. Unofficially, if you tweak them, you can flip between longer range, and polite as required.

    If you watch your lights, there should be a fairly sharp cut-off at the top of their coverage. If that line ever hits a window or mirror, it will look like you are flashing them. If it's too high, either fix it yourself (generally quite easy) or get it fixed.

  • My cars low to the ground and only has halogen lamps, so if I'm ever flashing high beams at an SUV with overly bright lights, it's only so I can continue to see the road. LEDs are insane and the governments too busy facilitating record defense contractor earnings to do anything about it.
