Lights too Bright?

I got a 2010 hhr and every time i drive at night people flash me like I got my brights on. And I mean every night. It was kinda funny at first but its just plain annoying now. Anyone else have this problem? My lights are just like they came from the factory, haven't changed them.

When we bought our HHR from the dealership one of the headlights was aimed higher than the other! We adjusted the high one to match the low one with no issues! Maybe some of the headlights (one or both) need to be adjusted lower! You can look in the owners manual for an adjustment how to! Wait till dark and use the driveway or street to see the lighting pattern! Now if we could just get them to stop burning out !

X 2 with Mrs D.. Headlight adjustment takes like 8.3 minutes.

So easy a caveman can do it, & you can see at night better too..

(knock on wood) still using the oem bulbs & no problems.

If you find that people are frequently flashing their lights at you to indicate that your lights are too bright............ maybe, just maybe you need to consider adjusting your headlights?????

As sleeper said "So easy a caveman can do it, & you can see at night better too".

I'm not stupid, first thing I checked was my headlight projection. Doesn't seem bad to me. And there is a definite difference between low and high beams.
