Xenon headlights too bright?

That what I do, I give 'em the full death ray treatment - no doubt blinding them in the process

Worth getting the level of the lights checked, even just drive up to a wall and see if they are both same level at least, as even though they are auto levelling they are still adjusted manually to the correct set point level.

Had this on my Mazda with Xenons kept getting flashed and thought it was just Xenons... only after 3 years when it went in for MOT they said your lights were set very high! After that I rarely got flashed, Manufacturers don't seem to get the level right, or if any work has been done on the front end they often don't get setup correctly again.

One of the first things I noticed was how much less light the RRE puts out compared to the Discovery 4 xenons - must just be a size and height thing. Still, I've been flashed once since owning the RRE. In the Disco 4 I got flashed regularly and often returned them with the 'daylight effect'

It's probably just the height of the RRE; people need to get used to SUV's / 4x4's having Xenon's just as they got used to seeing regular car's with them.

I don't think it is very wise to blind the driver of the car heading towards you. Could be deadly (literally) to both of you... Think about it next time you treat him/her with "full death ray".

Maybe its too bright, this is the 4th time in 2months they flashed high beam to me...

now i am under some sort of pressure of annoying the other drivers during night time

The 4th time in 2 months ?? Now if it was on a deset highway then I would have some cause for concern, if its the M1/A1 then 4 out of 6000000 cars means that there are 4 totally anal drivers on the road
