People flashing their brights

[joes bronco]

My bronc is lifted and not getting any flashes, but a number of yrs. ago when I worked a swing shift there was this guy who would turn on his high beams just before he past by. The same guy in the same truck every night, I flashed back at him several times but he just kept on doing it. Not always the best thing to do but out of a little desperation I was ready the next night. Seen him coming and right after he hit his highs I hit him right back with by big drivers and floods, he never pulled that stunt again

LOL , years ago when I worked night shift there was this one vehicle I met on the same stretch of road coming home that would flash his lights every time. This went on for about 3 weeks . The last time they did it I slammed on the brakes and turned the F-150 around and tailgated them for about 3 miles. They never did it again.

Not a prob on my stock BD with 32" stock tires. I even replaced the non-Sig lights with aftermarket brighter Form lights with the Sig LED DRL rings and cross blinker and dual projector LED low beams (as well as high beams on the bottom). When I did the headlight change no passing cars flashed me to complain, even before I did the leveling check. Park on a flat surface 25 feet from a wall. Measure to the middle of your headlight. For my stock BD that is 42". At 25 feet the top of your low beam should be 42" on the wall. When I changed to the Form lights it was 50" but I still did not get flashed by other drivers. Used a screw driver to angle the headlights to 42" just to be safe. OP may want to check this (did not read thread to see if it was already mentioned). Also, I am stating the Ford recommended stock light leveling check. Not sure it works the same if you got 2" taller tires and did a 3" lift.

I have a couple times but it's always from something with dim old halogens, anything brighter than a Maglight looks like high beams compared to what they're used to.

My center bars are 44" off the ground, aiming down will just make it worse . On coming drivers are more ecstatic I don't have my Project X lights on lol. There are a lot of new cars with crazy bright LEDs. For reference I don't get flashed either.

I am not impressed with my bronco headlight, never got flashed but when I adjusted my fogs after install I found drivers headlight was way high…don’t trust the factory or dealer…

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????

Judging by your image, you have high or Lux. The Auto High beams can be aggressive and hang-on a little long. Unfortunately, if enabled, they go into auto at each re-start. DIsbale through the center screen and see if that changes anything for you.

Man I get that all the time!!!

DISCLAIMER: Jest kidding...that was a JOKE!!!
I do NOT run those lights on-road; I don't like jail.

I have the OEM Signature LED lights but have the Baja Design Amber Driving lights. I do not get flashed unless I am running the amber driving lights, its only cars that have a low profile however.

doesn't happen often... but it does happen. Mine is still OEM-badlands ride-height too. Just people in low cars always doing that to trucks in general is how I assume.

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.

Stock SAS. People have not flashed at me. But I do notice it is bright and its pointed higher than cars and crossovers.

When I pass incoming traffic at night, for a brief moment I can see their faces.
Same goes when I stopped behind someone, their interior is all lighted up from my lights...

If people are constantly flashing you, adjust your headlights. It shouldn't be that hard.

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.
