Default Headlight Adjustment

I was out driving last night on a semi rural two lane
road. I was probably flashed 4 or 5 times by people
who thought that I had my high beams on. I wonder
if any one else has had this problem or if the level of
the headlights needs to be adjusted. I have had three
other cars (MB, Audi, Infiniti) with Xenon and I have not had this
problem before.
Thanks
Curt

I've had the same problem in a couple of cars. My Infiniti FX was the worse for being flashed as it sits higher than normal, but the best in terms of adjustment since it had a small dial to quickly adjust up or down.

It seems that some drivers are still in ancient times and do understand xenon/ litronics very well. Most people that flash me are not even being bothered by my lights. IMO since they are of a brighter spectrum, others assume that it must be the highbeams.


Porsche auto adjust works better than most of my other past cars, including C6, M3, 325i, FX35, Z4, etc.

Just to make sure your lights aren't out of whack, I'd have your dealer inspect on your next visit.
