Test it against a wall or garage door on level land. Those spots are dim intentionally to avoid blinding oncoming drivers. You get used to them, and they actually work surprisingly well.
Mine are like that.
This is good to know. I will reach out to the manager for our satellite location to try to get it realigned. Did they have to take the car over night to do it? HE had suggested that he may need to do that.
Seems there are better ways to do this? Would be curious what other car manufacturer uses the same methodology.
How did you realize the lights were aimed too far downwards? I feel like mine are also, but I have no reference.
You should have zero issue seeing the road in this car. If you do, then you probably should get the lights checked.
I would like to know too. They adjusted my right one, but I feel both is too low, but no point of reference… so now I just deal with it
Service should be amendable to "I can't see the road well. Please fix the lights.". That would be my gut check in any car.
Those dark spots are shadows designed to shield the glare of the lights from oncoming traffic and the rear-viewing mirrors of the car in front of you. If those spots are showing up on the ground in front of the car, they are way too low, and need to be re-aligned. I took my car into customer service, and waited about 15 minutes while they re-aligned them. I could not believe the difference when driving at night. It's so bright, I'm surprised I don't get flashed by oncoming traffic. I guess those dark spots work!
Even at low speeds I felt like I couldn’t see far enough down the road. At highway speeds it actually felt dangerous. Also the the dark spots were clearly pointed down at the road rather than eye level of opposing traffic.
