Head Lights

I would say more than half the traffic that i pass at night flick their lights at me thinking I'm running my high beams. Of course i return the favor to show that I'm not. Its just getting old. Anybody else have this issue, anything to do about it? Drive a 2017 F250, no lift, do have a leveling kit.

Did you re-aim your headlights?

I get it every now and then and my headlights are aimed properly. I think some people assume the quad beams are high beams, even though they are not necessarily blinded by them. I also return the favor as you do.

I get lit up every now and then as well. Love the people that will bright you, you quickly flip on the brights to show them they were not on, then they proceed to flip the brights back on until past them, just to get the "last word" I guess.

I attempted to adjust my headlights, but the adjustable screws do not turn, so something i need the dealer to look at and haven't gotten around to it.

If you leveled it then you need to adjust the lights. That reminds me I need to turn mine down a little because with the bigger tires and level I get flashed now. Happened 3 times on my last trip to the ranch and I was on a divided highway.. The led lights used on these trucks are hands down the best lights I have gotten on a factory truck.

It's not them, it's you. Reaim your lights.

It took you more time to create and account and type your post than it would have to reaim the lights.

I have my headlights aimed all the way down. These headlights are just junk IMO. I was getting flashed the day I left the dealership. I do have a 5" lift though, dealership provided. Most people I believe just think they're brights because they see 4 lights on. I eventually went to LED's (temporarily) in the stock housings. The work without glare, and crazy enough I don't get flashed nearly as much. I do tend to **** off people when I pass them on the left though, since I'm lifted. The cutoff is much higher on the right side...

I'm waiting on my RetrofitSource XB LED's to ship. Until then I just despise these lights. If they were easier to open, I would have retrofitted them ages ago, but the permaseal is impossible to work with.
