OP, there are several things you can do, depending on what you have for bulbs.

- Double-check to make sure you cross-referenced your bulbs properly, and that they are rated for on-road use. If they're not, the packaging would state 'for off road use only' or something to that effect...in which case if an officer of the law decided to, they could ticket you for it.

- If you have a style of bulb that can be 'clocked,' then make sure they are clocked properly for your housings. There is a reason halogen bulbs have the offset 'keys' molded into them, and it's so the filaments line up properly with the reflective part of the housings. A LOT of engineering went in to focusing the beams, and if your LED bulbs aren't properly clocked then your beam output isn't properly focused.

Address these concerns and you'll likely find you get flashed a lot less.

headlamps with led lights in them ?

from what i've read the bulbs aren't even replaceable and have to replace the whole assembly

LED reflector housings are a different item, and unless you, as mentioned, have a load in the bed or leveled the truck without adjusting the headlights, you shouldn't be getting flashed very often, if at all. I have them in my truck and do not get flashed at all, and I drive a LOT after dark.

As suggested, I would head to the dealer and have them adjust the headlights since you're under warranty. Or should be, anyway.

Best thing is to take it to the dealer or service center and have them check the aiming of the headlights. It's quite likely, as mentioned earlier, that some oncoming cars aren't used to seeing 4 lights illuminated on low beam. What would they do when you show them all 8? LOL! Smaller, lower cars are more likely to think they are brighter, also.

Recap: Dimmer switch, Alternator, Voltage Regulator replaced.
Have looked over the wiring, nothing glaring for it's age.
Tightened the spade terminal connections to the new Voltage Regulator, they were a little spread out and loose from old VR.
Checked fluid levels on battery(new Sept. 2024 from PO), low from over charging, Refilled.
Volt meter readings thus far; Voltage Regulator, key on.
F- terminal 11.9v,
A- terminal .4v,
S- terminal 12.7v,
I- terminal 6.9v
Battery key off 12.9v.
Battery engine on idle 13.9-14.2v
Battery engine high rpm 14.4v max.
Waiting for adjuster springs and adjuster nuts to arrive before installing new sealed beam head lights.
Readings still seem a little on the high side, what do you think? Would like to see them a little lower. Think I will have the same issue with losing the low beams from burning out? Thanks.

About the only reliable place is inside on a concrete floor. How many have a 45-50' long inside space? I happen to, but I suspect that most don't. And "adjusting" your headlights under the wrong conditions will likely make the problem worse. Worse yet - you think you have them adjusted properly. I would take it to the dealer.
