re: T/F: New Headlights Are Too Bright

sometimes it's the angle that's wrong like you said. If it's factory headlights and they're aligned correctly then it's usually fine. The problems for me come from mainly two scenarios:
1. truck gets lifted but headlights don't get adjusted; nice aim right at my rear view mirror.
2. people putting after market lights (think blueish headlights) that belong in projectors in their old regular headlight housings instead. The light now gets reflected from the whole reflection of the housing that's desgined for a regular bulb.
