Default Blinding people at night

I have factory HID's plus I added Putco 250010W Optic 360 H10 High Power LED Fog Lamps I got from Amazon. It seems everyone I meet at night flip their high beams on when I meet them. Is this happening to anyone else or is it just me?

I got HID and never get high beamed. I added fogs to a GMC and got high beamed a lot until I aimed them.

I bet you are blinding people with those LED in a halogen housing...

Easy to check. Turn off the fogs for a week and see if the flashing stops. if so, you know.

Don't use fogs unless the weather/visibility is bad too. Also the guys in my area don't bother reaiming anything after a level or lift.

I don't use my fogs, and I get flashed more with the OEM projectors than I did in my old truck with PnP HIDs.

I keep meaning to check to see if they were not aimed right from the factory.

I have the same setup - oem hids and putco led fogs. The putco led fog lights blind people at night, I would also constantly get flashed. Just don't use the fog lights at night with oncoming traffic.

Is your truck leveled?
