Remember, the higher a vehicle is, the further down the road that drivers vision is. Meaning that lowering the stock low beam set-up on your 250's and 350's could hinder your own personal driving safety. Ever notice how low-slung sports cars headlight beams seem to only shine out about 6 feet and front of the car, while a semi truck's headlights shine about 100 feet ahead? So, remember, your truck is well, "A Truck" and if people want to be asses and bright light you, return the favor and do it back to them.

I agree with the height and small cars.. Also alot of folks are getting older and don't realize their eyes are more sensitive to these lights at night. Even curse the high beams on these Fords not working well. The truck is wide and high so being Ford is limited to lumens etc. something has to give. A small car beams are closer together and the light will be more intense ahead of it.
Lights bother me now at night. I drive alot early am in darkness and try to ignore the head lights in the on coming lanes as they bother me now in my old age of 66 yrs.

Well I turned off my Foglights on the new 2016, and it hasn't happened again. perhaps the Fogs ARE the cause.
