Default Headlight aiming issue

My 2015 F150 has the standard headlights. On a recent cross country trip I was continually flashed at night by oncoming drivers while using the low beam headlights. I assume I need to have them checked for alignment but as the vehicle has less than 10,000 miles on it I am wondering if this is a common issue or is my problem unique?

Are you guys leveled/lifted by chance? Might be the reason.

It was happening to me before I leveled mine. When I leveled mine I had the lights readjusted. I was still getting flashed on occasions so I took it to another shop and was told the where spot on. So I'm not sure mine could just be the light that the leds put off.

Must be a lot of older drivers where you are They were the only ones that flashed me when I had the LED's in my previous vehicle. They're probably just not acclimated to the brighter modern lights. I still haven't figured out why they won't put a headlight adjuster switch in vehicles, in America, like they do in European vehicles. Especially trucks like ours that are designed to TOW! *SMH*

My XLT's lights were way off from the factory. I adjusted them once I installed HIDs to ensure I wouldn't blind other drivers. Ram I had was the same way, way off from day 1.
