I wanted to see if others with 2016+ LCs have had people think that your high beams are on at night. I did a long road trip late into the night (about 2am) a few days ago. It was my first long trip at night since I put a lift on and a TJM bumper. I'm not exaggerating when I say that I had probably 1 out of every 10 cars flash their lights at me thinking that my high beams were on. I would flash them right back to show them they weren't on, but the frequency of this got me wondering if I need to manually adjust the headlight aiming down some to compensate for the added height from the lift or if the lights are just too bright.
I leave my headlight switch on Auto, and I don't remember any issues pre-lift. The TJM bumper does have integrated parking lights, so maybe those are a bit brighter than stock? To be clear, I did not have the integrated fog lights turned on which would have obviously added to the brightness nor did I have Auto High Beam activated. I know the 2016+ models have the automatic headlight leveling system, so I can't think of much else that would be causing people to think that my brights are on other than maybe needing a level adjustment (or, again, maybe the stock LEDs + TJM parking lights are just that much brighter and are annoying for other drivers at night)? I know switching the headlight selection from Auto to the headlight symbol on top of the switch cuts off the DRLs, but I like the Auto function and not ever having to turn the lights on or off. I could also run DRL/Parking lights (2nd option on attachment), but those weren't quite bright enough at night.
Anyone have any similar issues or have any suggestions? I was getting annoyed by all the people flashing their lights at me, but the frequency makes it pretty apparent that drivers were annoyed at me.
