I just bought a 2021 xlt pre owned. The headlights are not bright at all. I can't see more than 10 feet in front at nighttime. I took it to the dealer and got the "Well the computer dosen't say anything is wrong" response. I don't know if it's a setting or a bulb issue. Anyone run across this?

If you can only see 10 feet in front of you at night, then the vertical aim of the headlamps needs to be adjusted.

The printed owner’s manual has information on how to do this (indexed as “Adjusting the Headlamps”).

Are these halogens or LED's ? If they are halogens then thats pretty much what they give for light output..

I was not aware if this. Thank you! One would think that the dealership would have made this suggestion??

When I adjusted the headlamps on my 2015 - I parked in my garage on level ground and used blue painter’s tape on the wall to mark the top of each low beam - them slowly adjusted each until they were level and even.
