    Never. I don't have stupid headLights or a leveling kit. If it's happening it's a clue.

    thats the issue, the truck does not come stock level, so you have added a front lift to level it. and if you did not adjust your headlight angle enough .. yup you are aimed too high.

    Agreed 100%. Swapped the oem halogens with sylvan is halogens and its 10x better. Every time I lift or have a bed load or a trailer I adjust them.. It literally takes 2 minutes.
    Not funny to laugh at a potential accident waiting to happen but it's coo cause those lights are the shit!

    I've had to do mine a few times.
    Easy to do!
    I marked the inside of an overhead door at work.
    I'd read somewhere @ 20 feet the beam spread and height is the same as standing dead in front of the truck on level ground of course. Stopped getting flashed after that. I've used it for new head lights. Resetting a busted one little mishap, after repairs shop didn't aim them?
    Tacomas do seem to be a little annoying IMO as far as stock lights.
    The adjusters can be moved by hand. They have a gear shape with a raised hex.

    U guys with poorly aimed headlights responding to poor incoming traffic with lightbars and hids are just compounding the issue.... Aim ur lights, be the bigger man..... Seriously, if u keep getting flashed, the common denominator isn't potato, its YOU.

    I don't see how hard it is to do the right thing.... Put urself in others shoes.

    Yes they did even running lights but why would you want to cut your light output unless you live some where it all ways foggy?

    Ya'll should come down to Puerto Rico if you hate HID's in stock housings. EVERY car has a set of ebay 8000k+ HID's, brights on. It is fucking terrible. You'll see bro'd out jeeps with multiple light bars on, just rolling around town. Cops don't do a damn thing. I think you have to be actively murding someone while driving to get stopped down here.

    Long story short I could have the damn bat signal on the front of my truck here and no one would bat an eye.

    Careful, name calling has been put on mods radar.

    Although I fully agree on ur statement
