Mostly agree, but it's less of an issue in these due to the projector characteristics and self-levelling. Definitely been flash a couple of times in the early days though, I think everyone's used to brighter low beams now.

It's the dickheads putting LEDs / Xenon globes in standard reflector housings that are the biggest issue - particularly those who decide they like the look of their ute sitting arse down....
