Does anyone else get headlights flashed at them?

Am I weird to think that you could just not be a dink, and get your headlights adjusted... since they are obviously causing a problem and blinding the oncoming drivers?
Must be the minnesota nice thing, I can't imagine reacting aggressively and being even more of a jerk in this situation, I'd be embarrassed that my jeep was adjusted wrong, not go out of my way to try to make it even worse.

You know, ever since I switched my original headlights for my IPF's, I've gotten flashed quite a few times...a lot of times the a$$hole doesn't switch them off until they've already passed that is until I light up my lightforce 170 HID's I've tried adjusting my headlights down but that seemed worse oh well, I haven't had any problems with the popo so I'll leave them be

It happens to me all the time. At first I thought it was because it was lifted and I just hadn't gotten arround to adjusting them. So I adjusted the to where they should legally be. It still didn't help. People kept flashing me, and I thought it was happening even more. Now when I get flashed, I just figure they are telling me my lights are too dim, so I turn on the high beams and leave them on. After all, if I have done everything to make them not officensive to oncoming traffic, so they must be too difficult to see, so people are asking me to brighten them up, right? I mean, you flash your lights at the guy who forgot to turn them off as well.

SumoSizeIt: It's common for stock JKs. Adjust the headlights down a little and you'll find that not only do you get "brighted" less, but that you can see better, too. Best answer: Talk to David at Northridge4x4 and get a set of IPFs.
As for the MN remark above: I used to travel a lot before I retired. Tons. All over the country. And much of that was to the Twin Cities. I must say that the MN drivers are truly the nicest drivers I've ever come across. Truly.

Really? Many years ago I had to memorize the distances at which to dim before taking the California driver's license exam (1K feet head on, 350 ft behind, IIRC--It was MANY years ago, LOL).

I've been flashed a few times since I had mine lifted/leveled. Usually a flash back get the message across. I've only had to use the 100w IPF 968s once.

As for the IPFs, I'll add them to the wishlist for sure.
