Default 2016 XLT: People high-beaming me

4th XLT since 2010. Yet this is the first F-150 (2016) where folks incessantly flash their high beams at me.

My headlights are stock. They seem to be aimed just fine, but I wonder why my 3 previous trucks weren't an issue. I have 300 miles on this thing, and the amount of people brighting me is unreal.

Anyone else with stock headlights experiencing this? Is there a remedy?

Well I have a 2015 king ranch with the factory built in led headlights and they always flash me. maybe its just the factory headlights are really bright but there nice when I'm on the state highway with no street lights. xD

Mine were very high when I bought it, and they didn't light the way very well. I lowered them and I see better than before and don't blind other people either.

Mine were too low I felt when I got the truck but I didn't touch them. Now I have a leveling kit and stock tires still they are perfect it lights everything up and then some. Love the leveling kit stance with stock tires and wheels

If my lights are blinding folks, I feel badly. That's a potentially dangerous situation.

Certainly something must be amiss with my lights, being there's a common pattern with so many people flashing me in one the week since I acquired the truck.

I'll lower the aim this week and see how it pans out.

I have the same problem, but I came to realize its more of a "look" of the lights then anything. I met a 2015 something and the lights were brighter then hell but its just the lights I think. I've had friends assume that I have my brights on because of the new style of light so who knows

Its a game for me now. When its dark my hand sits on the trigger waiting for someone to beam me, so I can beam them back. I've joked with buddies about getting a spot flashlight to have even more fun
