Those are the same people who cannot navigate a four-way stop. They should all be waterboarded.

I have an F150 platinum that is bone stock except for a leveling kit. It has LED headlights.

I get flashed at least once a night even though I don't have my high beams on. LEDs just look a lot brighter and tend to blind people when you hit bumps and shite

I drive a mid 2000s pickup with headlights that are pretty scuffed, although maybe not as bad as some on cars from the 80s/90s, and I still only ever use my brights if I'm home and am trying to see if there's deer in our yard. How bad are these peoples' eyesight to need constant brightness?

Your lights are out of alignment and need to be adjusted down. That’s why people are flashing you.

gotta love the baws who lift their trucks and don't refocus the beams


The right answer. Lift boys are the worst. Adjust your headlights you weak arse idiots.

I was thinking about this when I was running the other night. They’re driving down a street with lights and sidewalks and they have their high beams on. I could understand if it’s some dimly lit side street, but this is the main drag. I was taught to hit the dim lights when in town, maybe i was taught wrong.

That's what I am saying. My truck is a 2006, my headlights are faded as well, yet still aimed properly away from oncoming traffic. I replaced my tail lights recently because they were also faded and I want to be very visible to other drivers for my safety.
It's been much more noticeable in recent years with bright arse lights everywhere. Need some sort of regulation on manufacturers to have some max level of brightness on regular lights.

Bro is trying to tell me it isn’t illegal. I was a cop you moron. It’s illegal. It’s also illegal to honk the horn. Bet you didn’t know that ignorant arse.

I bought a brand new Toyota Highlander, and promptly took it on vacation. Ppl flashed their lights the whole trip. I had to do the adjustment deal when I got home, but 99% of folks are just too functionally unaware to think about doing that. They have no clue.
EDIT: you get 15 feet from a wall, mark the center of low and high beams with a pencil, and adjust your lights as such.
Use YouTube for your brand for directions

I won’t buy anything without those bright arse led lights. Makes it really easy to see vs shitty regular lights.
Because blinding the on-coming driver is such a wise choice...

Ditto
I think that Toyota did not get the Highlander headlights figured out and owners have to go back and get that corrected.

They aren't training them to do that. That's just the stupid part in them doing that.

Realized my mistake quickly. Every damn car flashed their lights at me for 300 miles and I couldn’t do anything about it.


Turn your brights on and they focus over the oncoming cars
