It is possible that folks are just not used to bright new projector headlights, or maybe they just like your car. It is also possible your headlights are not aimed properly. Ask the dealer service dept. to check them out for you next time you're in for service.

I agree, make sure the headlights are properly aligned. My low beams are focused just above my hood line which hits on coming vehicles just below the driver's line of sight (set by the factory). I'm amazed how focused the beam is versus many vehicles whose headlights have a flood effect. I'm also very impressed by the intensity of the high beams. On poorly lit suburdan roads when I come up on reflective signs it is almost blinding
Ummmm...

You guys, its not the low beams, which don't even project high enough to hit a side view mirror. It is the fog lights. Turn them off unless you experience some bad weather. I ALWAYS get brights when I have the fog lights on, but NEVER with the low beams only.
Your low beams may blind some on the crest of a hill, but unless they are mis-aimed, they should be fine.

The fog lights are aimed too low to be blinding other drivers. Hilton Head is extremely flat and I am regularly flashed with and without the fog lights being turned on.

I run into that too...I just flash the brights at them to let them know they were WRONG! Its funny because a lot of the people that flash have Xenon lights with driving lights on.
Well...

Blinding or not, that is why they flash their headlights at me, only when I have those lights on in clear weather.
