Headlights Too Bright?

[bluecraigy]

Dont know if anyone has issues with the oncoming traffic and people in front thinking you have the brightest lights in the world on. Its a 2006 RX400h with afs and auto levelling

Hello,

On both my Ls and Rx the head lamps are self leveling-a legal requirement with HIDs. However there are still adjusters on the lights. This means the beam is set and then levelled from that setting. IF someone has put them right at the top of the range of adjustment then you are driving with lights that are aimed high so that, together with the bright HID light, can cause drivers to think you are on main beam, hence the flashing. Happened to me on a previous LS.

Hope this makes sense.

You think the xenons on the RX400h are bright? you should really come over and see the LED's on my F Sport!

Just been out in car and I think the level of the headlights are set too high. Is this an easy fix or is it a main stealer job?

Try any MOT station. I think they should check the alignment as part of the test - mind you mine just checks the lights are working. The whole thing should only take a few minutes- its only a couple of adjustimg screws. You can do it yourself by looking at the beam pattern on a wall and lowering it but obviously this will not be totally accurate. Several years ago i asked my dealer to "set them as high as is leagal". After this I rarely needed main beam But did sometimes get flashed by other motorists. There was no extra charge by the dealer.

been in for the recall (which needs doing) and asked them to check levels but they found the height sensor is working slow and needs replacing. This will cost £380!!! anyone replaced this themselves ??
