Has anyone else been getting a ton of people giving you the high-beam flash, as though everyone thinks you have your highbeams on? I've been getting that a lot, even though my headlights are stock, including the bulbs. I've checked the alignment to ensure they weren't shooting too high. I could even understand if it were only the econoboxes doing it, but it's been other pick-ups, and even semis. What's going on?

 

Did you lift, level or put bigger tires on? You'll hear most complain our lights aren't bright enough.

 

I have had the same thing, people flashing me too. So when they flash me I flash them, its kind of like a game, they stop super quick!!!!!

 

Are you sure you guys are drive Ford F-150's???? You can strike a match and get more light than and new F-150 puts out. That is strange....I would double check your elevation of your lights.

 

No, bone stock suspension, and the same crappy Scorpions that came on the factory 20's.

 

I don't even run my foglights for the most part. I used to do that in my younger days, but I already know that will get you a sudden flash of bright light from on-coming traffic.

 

i have the same problem... i rarely run with the fogs on and i get flashed constantly... i have HIDs and the truck is lowered, but it's ridiculous..

 

I've been flashed a few times. I've seen other 09+ trucks coming at me before and the headlights have a lot of glare so it does appear to be high beams even though they are low beam. Ford did a ****ty job on this headlights. Lots of glare, low output.

 

Have a shop align your lights with the right equipment. Also go to a better buld and it should cut down on the glare as well. I upgraded a while back to Phillips and am very happy with the output; seldom use high beams anymore.

 

Uhh... so you have ****ty drop-in HID's in a halogen reflector bowl... and you're wondering why people are flashing you?

Jesus H Christ man, why don't you trade vehicles with someone and take a few passes at night, you'll see very quickly.
