People flashing their brights at me...

[Dustin Mustangs]

I am not doing anything out of the ordinary, and all my exterior lights are operational, so I assume it is because they incorrectly think I have my high beams on? Is this a full size truck thing or do my headlights possibly need an aiming adjustment?? It seems to be a recurring issue and is getting a bit annoying!

Have you parked facing a wall or your garage door and measured your light height?

My wife tells me that where she’s from they flash high beams to alert that there is a officer up ahead... I usually flash mine when you’re blinding me.

Yeah - They do that around here as well, but I'm like you in that usually I'll only do it if the folks are blinding me.

I have not. I can’t find a procedure on how to properly adjust them. The manual says to have a dealer do it but my dealer is an absolute mess and I generally try to avoid them if possible.

Yes, that is somewhat common in this area as well so I am familiar with how that typically works. These are definitely not courtesy flashes though, some are even just turning their high beams on and leaving them on as apposed to flashing them.

When they do that turn your high beams on for a second, then off again. That way they'll know yours are not normally on high.

Here’s a good general video on how to aim lights...

Are your lights factory?

Modern LED lights are very bright. Most people, especially those driving older vehicles with halogen based headlights are not accustomed to how bright the newer LED lights are. People flashing their high beams at you are probably doing so thinking your big beams are on even when they’re not.

Same thing has been happening to me! I know for a fact that my high beams are not on, so I think it's just the brightness of the LEDs as others have mentioned

Truck is 100% stock.

Has only happened once to me since July. I would do as others have said and check light output on garage door. It's very likely they need to be adjusted. Quality control is severely lacking with this 1st year model.

Like a Harley thing? In the Tahoe brotherhood?

This, plus the fact your SUV sits high and the headlights are most likely pointed directly into a sedan drivers line of sight.

I have noticed that it makes quite a difference if the vehicle is empty, just the driver, or back seats occupied with a load in the rear. Some passengers are max load and drop the rear enough to make headlights objectionable to air traffic.

I live in South Florida and do a good bit of driving on surface streets at night and I'm not even exaggerating when I say this happens to me almost everyday without question. It's 100% because the lights are just so much brighter and people in the smaller cars are sitting lower.

I just make sure I show them my high beams to get the point across and I almost actually look forward to it happening everyday now.

 

[SAdude]

I'm glad this isn't just happening to me. I'm not going to bother trying to adjust the headlights. Sounds like this is mostly happening to Tahoe owners, the tahoe headlights appear to sit slightly higher than the Yukon.

 

[tomgilk]

I just drove to a restaurant... It happened again. F--k em!

 

[kybob]

If it’s happening very often, they are likely aimed too high.
