It’s just the headlights natural state. My wife’s car came with blinding headlights. I even lowered their angle a little but I still get people flashing their brights at me when I drive her car.

Yeah, I flashed my lights at someone who I thought had their high beams on and forgot they were on...THEN they put their high beams on. I nearly ended up in some hedges 😂

Yeah, my car’s a 2019 model and I constantly have people flashing at me because they think my brights are on. They’re not. They’re my regular lights, sorry if they’re brighter than normal, but I’m not driving in the dim/dark with no lights because that’s also a problem!

Are they angled too high? Even if they’re bright, if they’re angled properly it won’t usually bother people

Could be, they’re angled however the manufacturer angles them. Is that something that can be adjusted? (Genuinely asking, my knowledge of cars is…not robust.)

You can ask over at r/FuckYourHeadlights.

It might be something you can do, depends on the car. The yearly state inspection is supposed to cover that but idk if every inspection place actually bothers

I actually just got the car inspected yesterday and they didn’t raise any concerns about the headlights. If I bring it in for service in the future I’ll try to remember to ask if there’s a concern there.

Don't fuck with your headlights because someone on Reddit told you to.

Honestly not something I would attempt myself no matter how much advice I got anywhere, so no worries there.

Don’t blind everyone on the road because you’re too dumb to adjust your headlights.

Literally a thread about headlights being too bright and people are downvoting proper car maintenance. I swear some of you should have your licenses taken away.
datheffguy t1_jdh4m80 wrote
Im assuming the downvotes are from people who feel dumb because they didn’t realize you could adjust them. In the vast majority of cars it takes no effort, the housing is easily accessible.

If they're adjustable your owners manual will tell you how. I've had to do it with mine before.

I’ll check that out. Thanks for the tip!

Have you considered maybe fixing them so you're no longer a road hazard?
