With the front lifted 2.5" its even better when you drive up on MR TURTLE in the Left lane doing 40 in a 55 Zone..so its his choice.. pull to the right into the snail lane or Enjoy my Headlights in your rearview mirrors...
When coming head on towards people they always flash me .. then all I do is put on my highbeams and leave them on to show them what the HIGHBEAMS really look like.
TUNDRA have 1 st dibs on the roads I drive on.

I do alot of highway driving at night, and it gets downright annoying when every second vehicle flashes me. I was actually wondering if there is a way to adjust the lights so they are lower?

I had a Terrible experience with this on my trip out to Atlanta. Apparently one should adjust ones headlights AFTER installing a 3" leveling kit. It was so bad, I actually had to stop driving for about 3 hours to let the traffic die down. After I arrived, I called the local Toyota dealership to ask how to adjust the lights and they promptly replied that there was no adjustment and Id have to replace the headlights. Well, I couldnt let THAT one slip past me so I chuckled at the service advisor and called MY dealership. They told me the same thing. I got worried. I called a Toyota Q/A friend of mine and he told me where to find the adjusters and how to do it. I promptly lowered the aim of my lights and at 15 ft the center of the low beam was 36" off the floor making the aim PERFECT. There are two adjusters. One with an 8mm head that looks like a battery cable bolt from a newer sidepost chevrolet that is located on the rear of the headlamp assembly nearer to the inner fender. Turn it IN to lower. The other is more toward the top of the assembly and is covered by a black plastic cover. This adjusts the side to side adjustment and I didnt touch that one. All things said....adjusting the lights down 6 full turns for my vehicle did the trick. I didnt get flashed ONE time ( except for the Gorgeous Blonde in that BMW ) the entire way back home. I called my dealership and told them that I would show them the adjusters when I got home.
GOOD LUCK.

I get a lot less "flashes" with my Tundra than I did with the loaner Yundra I had. Follow the advice of the other guys and look into your headlight adjustment or just ask your dealer to do it when you take it in for service.
If someone flashes me, I just give them a quick flash back so that they know I do NOT have my high beams on. If they just flat out turn their brights on me, then I'll turn on mine and leave them on until they are past me. That's gotta be a bitch. Hope they are learning something from it. But ya, the other truck was a pain. I was getting flashed several times every night on the way home from work.

The lights are simply aimed too high from the factory. I've turned mine down a bit and my truck is stock.
Just this morning going to work in the dark, another vehicle was approaching me and it appeared like high beams. Lo and behold, it was another Tundra! I didn't flash my lights or anything but I was amazed that I was hit by the beam being in a truck.
The low beams just need to be adjusted down a bit.
Something I do after I adjust my lights is to find a level road with little traffic (or even a big parking lot at night) and park the truck. Then walk down the road a distance and look back at the truck. Are you blinded? Crouch down and see what it might be like in a car vs truck etc. Using a wall for aiming is one thing, but actually being out in front of your vehicle shows what others drivers see.
I just added 250 pounds of bagged gravel in my bed for the winter. I adjusted the lights down a bit to compensate for the rear lowering due to weight. I'll re-adjust them again in the spring when I take the weight out.
I think lighting should be checked every so often to ensure that (a) you can see the road properly and (b) someone coming towards me won't cause a head-on due to being blinded.
If the other driver hits the high beams and leave them on, just chuck some crushed gravel out the window as they go by. Oh, my tires must have spit up some rocks...
When coming head on towards people they always flash me .. then all I do is put on my highbeams and leave them on to show them what the HIGHBEAMS really look like.
Why don't you get them properly adjusted before you do it to an unretired cop and he flips a U-turn and he gives you a ticket? When some jerk does that in my part of the country, that's about the time a deer or antelope jumps out in front of the blinded driver and he doesn't stand a chance of avoiding it.

Yessir, you're selling dealer should do it for free, it's actually part of the pre-delivery service. If you have a level area where you can shine them on a garage wall, etc, you can lower them a bit yourself.
"extra bright" low beams?
