Default Xenon headlights question.

Got my TT 2 days before christmas, and the 1st thing I did was drive 500 miles to Scotland in it (for xmas). However, I keep getting flashed by people. I know that Xenon headlights are a bit weird, but do other people get this, or are my lights not adjusted properly?
Apart from that, the car's a dream. Total magnet too

Been waiting ages to write this...
Denim blue/ebony 225
Bose/CD.
Took ages to arrive, but worth the wait.
Pics to come....

Default People around here are very used to xenon headlights with all of the BMWs, Acuras & Audis with them

I haven't gotten flashed once

Default Same here... not flashed at yet.

I have read of a few people who had their lights adjusted, but I haven't had any other drivers 'complain' about my headlights. So far, I haven't approached a TT at night on anything other than a highway. The lights are well focused in my opinion.

Default Maybe mine are misaimed

or the drivers around here are just rude - I get flashed in my TT unless I keep the highbeams on and dim right as the oncoming car is about to get blinded. Then they notice the difference...

Default Just bright...

Mine were checked and are fine, but in my recent holiday trip, I was flashed several times by people coming at me, and once by someone after I passed them. No, I don't tailgate, but did that have anything to do with me flying by them? I wonder.....
