Default 2013 HID Lights

Do your 2013 HID lights anger other drivers are or are mine misaligned? Since getting my 2013 F150 I've noticed a lot of other drivers approaching me flash their high beams at me (as though mine are on) and then I flash mine back to show mine were off.

Also, on many occasions, about a dozen over the year, seen drivers I'm behind pull over and then get behind me and put their high beams on as though I was driving with mine on when I was behind them.

Sometimes it's annoying but most of the time I'm smart enough to realize I never had any ill intent.

Have any of you with HID lights noticed this at night or should I talk to my dealer about the alignment of the lights?

I had the same issue when I did the 2" leveling kit. By raising the front end it misaligned the headlights.

If your headlights are adjusted properly, you should rarely get flashed (if ever).

Sounds like yours need adjusting.

I've never been flashed (in 6 mos). Of course, I take great pains to adjust mine (myself) properly. You've got to find that happy medium that still gives you the full lighting distance on low beam.
