2018 OEM Light Bulbs

Is it just me or does anyone else run into the same problem with people flashing their high-beams at you because they think you have yours on. Even though we don't. This is also feedback from my wife, who whenever we are on our way to work, and I'm following her, she complains about not being able to see anything on her rear view mirror. I don't know if this has been brought up before. I have also noticed that the lights are pointed slightly downwards so I can see, while driving on a straight, level road, about 15ft (4-5m) ahead of me, give or take, mostly take. I could change to something like my 2013 Mazda used to have which I never had any issues with concerning incoming drivers at night, I do miss the adaptive light which would turn with you and would adjust up or down depending or road conditions.

I had the same problem. There is an adjustment on top of your headlight unit that adjusts the level of the beam. I believe it is either 6mm or 8mm. Easy to find and get to and very easy to adjust. I found a video on it in utube. Takes about one minute for each light.

Friend with 2017 brz has this problem. LEDs blind people. If you want to be less of a ****, I'll trade you for my halogen FRS headlights. $75 shipping on your part and we'll call it even
