Default Anyone have issue with other drivers flashing high beam at you at night?

I am going to have the dealer check my head light when I bring the truck in for oil change but I want some others' feedback on this issue first...

I have 2015 F150 2.7 ecoboost XLT/FX4 SCREW and it has halogen headlight not the LED. A month ago I traded in 2014 F150 with HID headlight which I owned for 14 months. Right off the bat I can tell how less bright the new 2015 F150 truck is with halogen bulb in low beam setting. I expected it since new 2015 truck headlight has halogen bulb vs HID. But here's the strange part...it's starting to get very annoying and dangerous as well. At night when I am driving oncoming drivers are flashing high beam at me as if I have high beam on and blinding me. About 1 out 4 drivers is doing this to me so obviously either my low beam angle is way off or low beam light is way too bright. But what doesn't make sense is previous truck had HID headlight and I never had this issue. Matter of fact in 25 years driving and owning many different vehicles I had never experienced so this is even more baffling. Anyone else experiencing this and what would be the solution if dealer comes back says my headlight is functioning correctly?

Easy fix. Either take it to the dealer or simply open your manual to page 311. Mine were significantly off and the dealer simply took a screwdriver to them and changed them. Took 2 minutes.

So your truck had low beam alignment issue I take it? I will take a look in the manual on pg 311 as you mentioned but I wont mess with it since I have a scheduled appt with dealer for 1st oil change tmrw morning. I am not kidding. Last night I must have pissed off a lot of drivers coming back home from long road trip. And everyone of them high beamed me.

The dealership is going to do the same thing you can do with a#2 philips but they are going to charge you for it lol. Pretty easy to aim headlights.
