You're obviously certain that these complaints happen on low beam setting, so perhaps others are not accustomed to the brightness of LEDs. I changed out the OE halogen lights on my 2016 Rubicon for aftermarket LEDs and am impressed how much brighter and diffuse they illuminate the road -- at least 2x IMO. Headlights are yet another auto component that have to meet government specs, and for sure they're legal. You might ask your dealer to check your headlight alignment, but it's unlikely they're out of focus.

I have not had any complaints or flashing of brights. I was unaware at first that each headlamp of the new G class has 40 LED lights that will adjust to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic if you have the vehicle in auto bright mode. It seems complex. Maybe you have an alignment issue? The system relies on the cameras located on your windshield. I assume the low beams are simply out of adjustment. You should see a pattern showing more light toward the right side of the road when driving with low beams on. Hope that helps.

YES! It happened many times the other night on the way home from dinner...I had to flash the high beams to show the idiots that I did not have the high beams on! Same thing happens in my Porsche, but not my Harley where I run with the high beam on.
