Mrs. DLVRNIT, he was probably aiming that at me - however, you raise some good points in your response.
Since he checked the "headlight projection", and it doesn't look bad to him, as his car is a 2010, perhaps he should take it to the dealer and explain the situation about people frequently flashing him, and see what they can suggest. :)

OK, I admit I used the garage door test and made sure they were pointed slightly down and right of the center on low beams, and they were. Not by much, maybe 2-4 inches down and right. I didn't adjust them any from this. So what's your suggestions now? Didn't mean to sound like I was agitated in that last post. One of the problems with text, you can't read peoples tone. My bad.

Your Owners Manual gives a really good explanantion of how to check the headlight alignment and do the adjustment. I believe it's in section 5.
Oh, don't skip any steps....especially the measurement.

We didn't even know of the how to section in the manual other than how to adjust! It's been awhile since we did this but find a flat stretch of road and view from behind the steering wheel how the pattern is at night! The driverside light we pointed straight ahead and passenger side very slightly towards the right! If that looks good we then worked on the up and down adjustment! We let the lights shine about 100' out and adjusted accordingly! One of our lights was maxed out for low shine and we just adjusted the high one to match! Since we did this at night we would reccomend a flashlight to help see under the hood while making adjustments!

You know, I really don't understand where people get this idea. HID's, when authentic and mounted correctly DO NOT cause the bright glare that you refer to.....reference the real lights on some GM products, BMW's, MB, etc. However, when people install, "want-a-be's"...excessive wattage imitations...that does present a problem. Another problem....not adjusting correctly.
I have 2 vehicles with the real HID's...my family has another 2 products and we get no aggravation from opposing drivers. JMO
