My theory is a lot of folks don't know these trucks have quad beams even on low. They just look at the quad headlights and assume you have your high beams on and start flashing. I give them the curtesy one flash back letting them know I don't have my high beams on. I love the quad beam look...

By lowering I assume you mean the truck? You can't lower the lights, but you can aim them down a little ( I had to) , and drive with the so called fog lights on. (it seems to help as people think brights are off if fogs are on, at least other truck drivers)

That's kind of why the thought, so really you have factory halogen with aftermarket LED bulbs, and correct?
If that is the case, you were going to get a completely different answer as to why you are blinding other drivers.

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.
