    I purchased and installed new headlamp assemblies for my 2010. They were the least expensive models that Rockauto offered. They're just standard nothing special replacements. Now however, they are too damn bright. Almost like they are aimed too high. I also have a leveling kit on the truck so I understand that will change the trajectory of the beam. Anyone else have this problem and what was your solution?

    odd, there should be an adjustment screw on them somewhere to at least adjust as well as the horizontal projection.
