Drives Slowly
Anyone Else Constantly Getting Flashed?
I love these new LED headlights but I'm constantly getting flashed by oncoming drivers who think I have my high-beams on. During night driving I find myself keeping fingers on the high-beam stalk just to quickly respond to the incessant flashes from oncoming traffic.

I thought these lights were self-leveling. Could they need adjusted?

LOL Rock

I know what you mean......has happened to me too.....one thing I will say is that the auto highbeam is just great....very quick to respond to other cars.....
this car does everything for me.....well not everything

I can picture the raging high beams being returned to the other drivers
