    Happened to me 3 to 4 times a night when I got my lift, just recently got them adjusted. I also have stock headlights and I don't enjoy blinding everyone on the road.

    None. I am considerate of my fellow drivers and do not have mis-adjusted headlights or those ultra bright spot light things.

    does anyone truly think my goal in life is to be a dbag driving around blinding hapless oncoming drivers? really? i'm 40 goddamn years old, i loathe the shit and have zero desire to blind motherfuckers. shit, i turn the fucking lights off at the goddamn stoplights because i'm positive i'm blinding the person ahead of me in a chevy aveo via rear view mirror. i have a set of Slims and have not found a way to adjust them. 1 trillion percent am switching them back to factory if there isn't a way.

    So it actually is intentional. Could have had them adjusted in the time it took to read this thread.
