Last night I got pulled over because the officer thought I was using high beam. I showed him what my HID low-beams look like and he let me go. No tickets. Fine. But it is getting annoying. My headlights (4300k Philips D4R Xenon HID Headlight Bulb) are too damn bright! I remember that even before I replaced them, one day my friend drove my car to pick me up at the train station after dark, I recognized my car from a very very very far distance among all other cars because of the bright lights!! And people have been flashing their lights at me all the time. Now I got pulled over? Any known solution to this? I think I did a search before and didn't seem to find a solution. Thanks.
If you have an 07 it has a mechanical head light leveler, I'm guessing yours is rusted and the lights are permanently aimed to high, or Made in Korea High Quality Maxlux HID Lamps 3000 hrs. average lifespan Ready to install right-out-of the box - 100% Plug and Play installation Make sure the bulb is properly positioned. The bar is supposed to be pointed downward. You didn't install the bulbs properly, upside down to be exact, the wattage isn't listed, are they 100wats? =illegal
I can switch between high and low beams. The light bulbs were bought from Amazon: (Why can't I insert an Amazon link here? ) BrandPhilips Item Weight1.6 ounces Product Dimensions3.9 x 2.7 x 1.4 inches Item model numberD4R Manufacturer Part Number42406 They were installed by Toyota dealership. I didn't install them.
might be that your headlights need to be adjusted. any inspection shop should have a headlight aiming unit. takes about 5 minutes.
You could always put back the legal headlights. It is illegal to sell HIDs for public roads in the US on any car not factory installed with HIDs.
When I bought my 2007, people would flash their high beams at me all of the time. So I used the mechanical adjustment and brought them down. Now, 2 years later it's happening again. I notice they are aimed high and people are starting to flicker their high beams at me again. I tested my leveling system and it works. To the OP: just aim them lower. I did and they are moooore than bright enough that you don't notice a difference but then it no longer appears that you have your high beams on.
