Default Stock HID Headlights too Bright?

So, as I drive more and more, I notice a large amount of people driving towards me flashing their brights thinking I have my brights on, when they're not. Does this have anything to do with my leveling kit and 34's?

Last night, I even had an accord in front of me pull over and let me pass them, as he continued to flash his brights at me from behind to let me know I had my "brights" on. Does anyone else have this problem? Thanks

If you leveled it you need to adjust them down a little bit.

That's what I was thinking. I should probably look into that before I **** anymore drivers off.

Did you adjust them after you levelled it, if not, it would be pointing high.

I get the same flashing, when I flash back, they realize it's my low. Truck is stock height but the tools in the bed might be adding more weight than I thought.

Same for me...truck is stock height and stock wheels with no adjustment and I get occasional "flashers".

They are bright anytime I follow a friend somewhere I get the "man, your headlights are really bright" comment.

One of the first things I did when I leveled mine, it was also a reason I added air ride to keep the truck level when towing so not to blind people.
