bright head lights?

About 50% of my daily commute is on the highway. I get a lot of high/low beam flashes from the oncoming traffic. Toyota dealer states that the Matrix has bright headlights and that my headlight elevation is fine. Do you guys experience anything like this?

No never. You can adjust the headlight aim pretty easily I think, just park close to a wall and aim them down a bit.

I never got that when it was stock. I now have HID's and aimed my headlights down, and only get it when I am comming up a hill when there is a vehicle on the other side. Other than that not usually. I have noticed though that the headlights do seem bright on the stock 09 Matrix when they are comming at you. The worst from Toyota would have to be the new Tundra's. I am ALWAYS blinded from them on the road.
