Headlights to bright, what can I do?

[path1]

F350 model year 2003. My headlights are too bright. Way brighter than they should to be. I took out the bulbs and exchanged the "super bright" for regular bulbs at Ford dealer. Helped some but still too bright. To many people giving me the high beam headlight flash. When stopping behind someone many flip their rearview mirror to avoid the lights. I've taken my 3/4 ton dodge and f 350 to grocery store to use their side of building in back and measured the lights they don't seem out of adjustment. It as I have a "search light". Wife and I passed on our street and wife made comment that they are still way to bright. One would think this is a good problem, but people flashing their high beams messing up my vision and knowing that I'm way to bright and would like to tune down, any ideas? The only good is reading street signs at night. Those new reflective signs really stand out. Wish I could complaint about to much fuel mileage, but that won't happen. Any ideas? Ford Dealer looked at them and said basically "lucky you".

All 350/3500 pickups are made to haul weight or drive around empty and their rear springy suspensions squat down loaded or ride high up empty. Their headlights are easily adjustable, just pop the hood and turn the hand adjusters till the level bubble...

I made that up.

Go find a level spot, and a wall, and a tape measure, and some tools, and some instructions...

But they do have 4589000 watt 56 speaker sound systems....:)

The next time someone hits their bright lights at you , do the same to them. Then they will see the light.

Also polish out any haze. The haze will scatter more light where its not supposed to be (while also putting less light where you want it).

Try this and see how close your lights are to being properly adjusted.

No such thing at "too bright"; just too high. Lower them down 4" at a time until they are correct.
