Default Headlight Adjustment?

Is there any way to adjust my headlights just a bit lower? People are flashing their high beams at me sometimes.

I realize it may be because the lights are simply brighter than many on the road. I do see them "self-level" when I start the car at night, so I assume they are working as designed.

Same here, since the day I got the car. One of the first things I noticed when I brought the car home and pulled into the garage was that the light line seemed to be about 3-4 inches higher than on my 460. I had them check the level of the lights at my first 2 services and both times they said they were set to factory specs.

Compared to my wifes Maserati, they are aimed pretty high but it comes in handy in dark areas.

Is your auto high beams on and is that maybe why people are flashing? The LS auto high beams are extremely aggressive. Slight window of perceived darkness and the highs kick on.

No. I never use high beams.

Dealer service dept says they cannot be adjusted. Was just wondering if they might be wrong.

I can't see any further down the road after turning on the high beams; I do see more to the sides and up in the trees.

Don't really need the high beams, as was said before.
