People flashing their brights

[Dialtone]

I get this occasionally driving any of my SUVs. I think its a combination of how crazy bright modern lamps are and how high SUV's and trucks sit compared to small cars. When I drive my Honda Accord at night I'm constantly blinded by the light.

Thank you all! I have a feeling they were never adjusted after the lift. However, I do see a green light symbol in my dash controls. I’ve never known what that means.

Which green light symbol? Does it match any of these? Parking lamps perhaps.

I’ve noticed that people are flashing me. But there are usually a level change in the road causing my lights to shine higher.

Did you lift your Bronco without adjusting the headlights?

Yes, and until I adjusted my headlights, I felt bad driving at night and tried to avoid if possible. Just adjusted my headlights the other day. I have about a 2.5 inch lift.

Does anyone else get this a lot? I constantly have people flashing their brights at me because they think mine are on, so then I flash mine on. Are the Bronco lights just that bright????

It happens to me mostly when I'm on an incline, or at an intersection where I'm just a bit higher than the other car. I noticed that when this happens, my lights are naturally aiming higher simply because of the height difference. But ya, it happens a lot.

Lots. Happens all the time. I have a stock unmodified bronco and contrary to what folks are saying here I’m not going to reposition the factory lights and trust that Ford has met the necessary highway and road safety criteria.

I got flashed a week ago but it’s was from a Bronco Sport owner sayin hi, I own a Bronco too.

Shortly after I lifted my Bronco and added larger tires I was always getting flashed. but found the adjustment "screw" for my lights and lowered them.

I haven't been flashed in 30 years since I was road-tripping down to Daytona Beach for spring break.

Seriously though, I have a complete stock BadSquatch and had a stock Outer Banks before that. Both got flashed many times. I think it's a combination of bright LED lights and possible misalignment.

The people saying "reposition the factory lights" are referring to OP and what looks like a lift running 38's.

Remember when measuring the center of your headlights, that you measure to the little indentations on the lens of the lights. That's true center.
