Am I alone in getting regularly flashed by other motorists thinking I've got my high beam on when in fact it's only dipped headlights? Oncoming cars suddenly dazzle me with their main beam, and tonight the car in front put his hazard lights on, then starting braking suddenly, in attempt to get me to turn off my dipped headlights?

My stealer checked the alignment and it's ok. I know the xenons are bright, but is anybody else experiencing the same problem?

I've not had people flashing me, however I always think they are too high - you can see the top of the light jut catching the interior of the car in front sometimes

sometimes when I drive in rough terrain my head lights shaking is that normal  2007 Range Rover Sport Supercharged, Buckingham Blue, Ivory converted to HST Silver

Thanks Kaine. Yes, I thought the same- when you sit in traffic, the headlights often illuminate the back of the driver's head in the car in front. I've seen them adjust the rear view mirror downwards too.., poor sods!!!

I'm sure the alignment is correct and legal, it's just that (as Jay says, in his inimitable sledgehammer fashion) we're so damned big compared to other normal "small" cars. I suppose the only way to avoid this problem would be if LR designed the RRS with the headlights lower (silly) or the beam angle itself was aimed steeply downwards (even sillier).

But buses and lorries dont get flashed so why do we?

Buses and lorries aren't fitted with Xenon's. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Yeah, I did think of that TB, but is this whole issue really only about the high instensity of xenons? After all, I never got flashed when i had an X5 with xenons??
