Some will say that it's because the Bronco sits higher than your average Corolla. When I get flashed, I just turn on my off-road lights as if to say "You wanna see bright?"

Give them a free XRAY! That's what I do.

I oddly had this issue in my ford fusion. The low beams were aimed correctly and everything. I've never been high beamed more in any other vehicle I've owned. And I can't figure out why. It had projected halogen low beams. Now if I get high beamed in the Bronco I can hit them with so much light they think Jesus himself is coming through. 🤣🤣 just kidding don't do this it could be dangerous and cause a wreck.

maybe it's because you forgot to turn off the 'off-road' only lightbar...

I just went to check mine, out of curiosity.

CL of headlamp is at 40.5". At 25' - the top of the low beam hits at 38"

So, I guess I'm good.

I was out adjusting new fogs and drivers headlight was aimed way high from factory…leds are super bright and need to be adjusted properly!! Blinding other drivers is a great way to kill someone…don’t be an ass!

totally agree, especially with that last sentence. I’m getting so tired of idiots with ditch lights or light bars turned on while driving the roads around my area. Even fog lights, what’s the deal, why run them constantly when there is zero visibility issues from weather. its Night, LEDs are blinding and nobody cares how cool you are.

If multiple people are flashing you often, yes, you need to adjust your lights.

I have no idea if mine were high stock, but once I changed out suspension they were. One quick way to tell is where are your lights when right behind someone? If your dims are lighting up their interior at normal trailing distances, they're too high.
