Default LED headlight ajustment.

Is anyone else sorta unhappy about their LED headlights? The temp is fine, but the "amount" of light seems low, even on high beams.

In fact, I can forget to turn my high beams off, and I never get flashed.

My Toyota truck with (after market) halogen bulbs sheds more light.

Im told the units are not serviceable, is that true? Also, can they be adjusted? The "sweet spot" is like just 25' in front of the car, and high beams are only slightly better...can I adjust them up a bit?

Thanks!

They can be adjusted, had my dealer do it and it shoots lasers down the road. I never even need to use the high beam anymore. Someone posted a video but it's a screw type of config.

LED headlights aren't serviceable but they're not known to burn out and have a considerably longer lifespan than halogen counterpart. I have yet to see someone say their headlights failed on the forum. My car is pushing 7 years old / 75K miles and everything is good

Single-lens are crap, I changed them to dual LEDs...

BEFORE:

AFTER (all my LED lights are aftermarket parts - headlights, sequential DRLs, fog lights):

oh I misunderstood, you can actually adjust them from the back of the lights.
