CX-5 Headlights
Hi,
Every time I drive at night someone flashes their lights at me. I reckon people think I have full beam on as my lights seem really bright. I assume
alignment is ok as it passed the MOT a few months back.
Anyone else get the same with newer cars?

As an oldie I find many modern cars headlights dazzling, partly because they are so bright now but also due to the fashion? of SUV type vehicles the
lights are a lot higher! Driving a 7 at night on unlit roads can be quite scary as you sit so low.
One of my (current) pet hates is the fact that the indicator on many cars is right next to the bright headlight so it can be easily missed, Range
Rovers as an example.
Phoned the local ramblers club today, but the bloke who answered just
went on and on.

I hate self levelling headlights, if your being followed it's like your constantly being flashed.and just as bad if approaching.

Volvo are the same - the cut-off at the top of the beam is very sharp and quite high, which means that they look like they're flashing as the
car drives over a slightly bumpy road.
As for indicators close to the headlights - it's even worse at the back, especially when they put the indicators within a red ring that holds
the brake lights. The indicators are easy to see - until the driver puts the brake lights on, at which point they're invisible. Indicators on
many modern cars are next to useless anyway (especially VAG cars, apart from the big autobahn ones).

Living in an old sailing village with bad roads and lots of old people is less than ideal then!
