Any time I'm cresting a hill oncoming traffic flashes their high beams at me, with my low beams on, even in the city.
My low beams have hardly any throw on flat ground as it is, maybe 100m. I'm not lowering them any more. I should just raise them if I'm gonna get flashed anyway. If I'm driving into a valley its almost dangerous at night with how sharp the cutoff is.

Those dark V's that are supposed to help oncoming traffic seem a little "left" of where they should be. If I'm on a 4 lane road they are okay for oncoming traffic, but a 2 lane road the black circles are in the ditch across the road until the oncoming car is right on top of me. It's my understanding there is no L/R adjustment for GT2/GT-Limited cars.

Anyone else have this problem? Maybe my area is just to hilly for these headlights.
 
yep.. just a hill issue.. doesn't matter how low you have your lights aimed, when you crest a hill the people coming up get the full brightness. I see it all the time even to cars that don't have xenon/led headlights..
 
totally feel the same way about my 2019 GTS headlights, I wish they would go left and right... I was always getting flashed so I've adjusted down.

Down, from the factory? Inconceivable. How can you drive at all at night? I had to raise mine. After two adjustments, the tops of the "V" are just below the side mirrors of the most common sedans and SUVs when I am back far enough to light up the rear end of the vehicle in front.
 
Yea I raised mine too.. it's easy to tell if you drive down a road that has concrete barriers on the side the cut off line should angle down slightly but not today far off level

Following this guide helps Aiming Headlights: How To Get The Proper Alignment - CAR FROM JAPAN

If your lights are aimed where they're supposed to be don't worry about people flashing you. A lot of people don't understand the difference between high beams and low beams or how hills work lol.
