I replaced my work truck headlights with LEDs and parked out in front of several lines of fencing to angle them downward.

I ended up having to get a different headlight geometry because the reflectors weren't designed for LEDs and there was too much spillage.

When I ask people how hard it was to get to the angle adjustment screws and usually get weird looks.

Honestly I don't even know if modern cars HAVE adjustable angle headlights. Every old car I've owned has though. Not a huge amount of play but enough to angle up or down by about 10-15 degrees if needed.

My wife's car is a 94 and low to the ground, even with brights on I don't have a problem when she drives by me. 10/10 headlights on that thing.

I have LED headlights from factory and they have a clean cutoff and self adjust while driving. I always assumed that was the standard these days, my car is a cheap little compact with, well, the LED package.

Auto adjusting headlights aren't common in the US. Our automotive lighting laws are extremely outdated

Yeah on my old car it was very easy to aim. My new one has everything hidden behind panels that need to be removed

My buddy had a Malibu where you had to remove the front of the car to get to the headlights. It's ridiculous.

That is obscene. Why on earth would they design it that way

To make you take it to the dealer for all repairs
