Anyone getting flashing lights from oncoming car signaling headlights to bright. I have 2021 Tremor stock height. Going to adjust my lights but I am surprised to need to.

It's not uncommon for headlights to be mis-aimed from the factory. Also not uncommon for this not to be noticed or addressed during PDI.

Lariat LEDs or halogens? Assume you don't have LED drop-ins.

id guess its folks in lil squatty cars that need to get used to it or buy a car that is not a low rider. sorta like if you are sitting near someone tall and they lean over, you get ass in the face you dont want. when one drives a clown car headlights in the face are just part of it.

This is the first time it has happened to me. Thanks for the info. Been looking on forum for adjustment info, not difficult at all.

I'd double check you have even, level headlights against a wall (but unless they look egregiously high, wouldn't adjust - you are supposed to measure like 25' back or something).
More than likely, someone mistook the LEDs for highs, or you hit a pothole and bounced and shone at them.

very very rarely I'll get someone flash me, and turns out they're sending a warning about a police car nearby. it's amazing people still do this.

every newer vehicle I've ever driven gets the odd flasher (even the low, squatty cars). some people are so accustomed to their faded headlight lenses that anything new and clear is obscene to them.

and yeah, every now and then I encounter someone whose headlights aren't aimed for shit.

After installing my LED bulb replacements and leveling back when my baby had less than 10K, I got flashed...that went away completely after I adjusted the aim...did you level your Tremor Joe?

Thanks got it
Hey Joe, I think it took me longer to position my truck in front of my buddies hangar than it did to adjust the lights - super quick and easy.

I have stock halogens and get flashed. Unsure of it's the headlights or the fog lights as I drive with those on as well. But it mostly happens when coming up or going down a hill. Used to happen in my 05 Xterra as well. I've noticed it's mostly smaller cars tho.
