Yes I get people flashing when headlights on dimmed. Bit embarrassing. But out in the lanes where I live they are very good for my visibility as get deer etc running in front of me. Over 2000 miles and yet to meet another new Jimny

My SZ5 landed Nov last year, so early dark nights. I had read about this on earlier threads so I drove down some unlit side streets testing the low beam height and found a torch beam bright lit area that was at car bonnet height on various types of cars. So if people like to drive there cars like they were on a sun lounger don't whine.

i think it's mostly because the LEDs are sooooo bright most people think they must be on high beam when they're not. I usually only get flashed as I go over the brow of a hill and the drivers coming towards me have their eyes burned out!

When I had mine checked they said they were in limit, but right on the limit. So they turned them down slightly, no flashes since. I think the problem with LED is the there is no fade to the beam cut off like on halogen lights, so you are blinding or not and no in between.

I got flashed on my way home from work Sunday night.

My 43" and a 24" lightbar worked fine....doubt they'll be flashing so quickly next time.

Just have whatever headlights you have aimed properly.

There are adjusters on the back of the headlight units. I made a bit of a mess trying to turn mine down, so had the dealer adjust at my first service. Now they're even higher than before! :huh:
