    I don't like too bright in close, but that's just me, I use everything out there driving at night, and too much light shortens effectively seeing that.deer way out there.

    They put lots of driving lights on for others, I don't find them much help, too much light close in, and that deer usually leaps into sight too late to do anything about except hope you're not shut down with the damage caused.

    Well both my low beams go out anout 20ish feet but just aimed wrong..I suspect the mold used to shape the lights over heated and distorted some..A few fellow drivers have same issue just some are not as bad as others..

    Craig, the lights have a cut off point on the left and a lead on the right. Like below. It may be a lens problem but it also may be a lamp issue, I had a problem where we could not get the lights to focus right and it came down to the bulbs were OSRAM were counterfeit bulbs and just horrible, put another type in and it all worked well - that was a $300 expense I didn't need.

    However ... have you actually checked to see if the lights are aimed right?
