    Those headlights are just improperly adjusted. Normal headlights point down, especislly on the driver side. Brights are often bright because they point forward.

    Now, if you replace your headlight, for example, or decide to lift your truck, and don’t adjust your headlights…well now you’ve just got your brights on all day long.

      If those “improperly adjusted” or pointing forward headlights weren’t the same height as my eyes, they would not be a problem. Which is my exact point.

        They could be pointing up too if improperly adjusted

        Far more important that the annual safety and emissions inspection checks the angle. Definitely does where I live.

      I see this excuse all the time, and yet I’m willing to bet that most people have never changed their lights. These are factory standard vehicles with way too bright headlights

        Yeah in my country it needs to be correctly adjusted and there’s yearly inspections to have your car be road worthy. They somehow make it trough.

      This puts the burden on owners having their headlights properly adjusted. People who can’t even be bothered to watch the road or change their oil aren’t going to care about their headlights.

        At least in my state, the annual inspection is supposed to check headlight alignment. However I’ve never heard of anyone getting a fail on that so I doubt they do
