HID headlights
I have serious concerns about the safety of my HID headlights. When I took possession of my new RX330, the lights were turned downward so that I could not see very far down the road. On roads that were bumpy or hilly, visibility was quite poor. So the service department reluctantly turned the headlights up a little. Now my visibility is excellent, but oncoming drivers are flashing their headlights at me, as if to say that my highbeam is on. It is not. It's just that the HID headlights are too bright for oncoming traffic. Has anyone else had this problem, and how was it fixed?

Please aim them according to spec. Here's a quick tutorial on how its done properly. You don't need a service technician to do this. You can easily do this yourself.
