Headlight adjustment after level...

I'm just curious if most people adjusted their beams down or just left them where they are. I did a 2.5" A.S. a few weeks ago but just the other night I realized I was flood-lighting peoples' rear-views. Have you all adjusted yours or is it just TS for the guy in front of you?

I adjusted mine, just like getting an alignment afterwards. IMO it is essential.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought about this. I just tend to stay a little behind so its not so bright for the person in front of me. It does feel pretty good when someone flashes me though and I turn on my high beams...

havent touched mine either, but i went down not up :o

IMO Ford aims them a little low from the factory, so leveling just helps correct that

Sometimes I hate state inspections....

but I understand everyone has to suffer for a few.

As was said about driving school, they do tell you not to look at the approaching hi beams but they also give distances of when you dim your lights approaching cars and not to flash discourteous fools. Maybe you'll get lucky and flash a cop.

In Virginia if they catch you flashing your bright lights at someone it's a 6 point aggressive driving ticket and may get your license suspended for ten days or for as long as six months..
It's also a nice way to get an insurance increase.

yeah after i got my hid's i get flashed every so often. usually they don't flash me until they are like rigth beside me so i can't do it back but one guy just turned his high beams on like a quarter mile from me so i turned on my hid's behind my grille and started flashing my high beams back...... lol he turned his off.
