Dont be like us, Adjust your headlights correctly

[Gatorized]

A lot of folks are just over-sensitive to bright beams and flash their highs on the assumption that your highs are on.
You can minimize the occurrence by driving with your high beams on and dipping your lights when you see an approaching car - if they see you go to low beams they will be less inclined to flash you. If they do flash, maybe there IS a problem with your headlight aim!

I adjusted mine when I put in the LED Bulbs and got it as close as possible. I have only been flashed a few times and that was only when I had a load in the back of the truck for a few hours. So sorry to say I am not going to readjust my headlights for a few hours of runtime at 4 AM when there are not that many cars on the road. The people who flashed me were mostly full size trucks running LED lights themselves sitting higher than me

Even after adjusting mine, I still get flashed about once/twice every morning on the way to work... all halogens although they are the upgraded Sylvanias. Dunno...

After driving around for 6 months I checked mine. I get flashed maybe twice a month, and sometimes if I'm following someone they will slow down, but I absolutely blind people in the drive-thru. I felt bad about it last night when a family was clearly blinded at McDonald's so I just turned my lights off. So I checked mine tonight in a very basic way.

My driveway is on an incline, so I had to do it in my yard in front of my wooden fence which is 6 feet tall. I got about 4 feet away from it. Put a sticky note at the beams. Backed up approximately 25-30 feet. Beams were way above the sticky notes. Used a 6mm allen key and started turning. Clockwise is down. I lowered to just about 1 inch above the sticky notes. Super easy...not the most accurate way, but I didn't really plan on doing this.

Went for a drive and it looked more "normal". Could still see safely ahead, but what really stuck me was my high beams. Before my high beams didn't look much different. Now they actually look like high beams!
