I have a new mini with zenon lights. When I drive at night people in the oncoming lane often flick their lights at me thinking I have them on high beam. Is this an adjustment problem or bulb issue? I do feel bad that they are so bright.

 

They may not be adjusted correctly. Ask your dealer to check and adjust as necessary. If they are pointing too high or too far to the left they will bother oncoming motorists.

 

Hey Thanks!

 

Yea, definitely sounds like an adjustment issue. After reading many criticisms of xenon headlights on here' I actually expected to get flashed all the time driving in my new MINI at night as many of the roads around here have no street-lamps. So far though, it's been fine; therefore if you're getting flashed often, your lights are most likely in need of a simple adjustment.

 

I re-adjusted mine they were pointing too low and they are just right now. Point towards the right to see pedestrians but not too much on the left so not to blind the other drivers. I have yet to be "flashed"
